English Legal System (Law): Dan
One evening whilst drinking in a public house, Dan, aged 25, made an unprovoked attack on Vince, striking him in the face. As he did this, the glass in Dan’s hand shattered and Vince received a number of severe cuts to his face which required many stitches. Dan is now being prosecuted for unlawfully and maliciously wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Vince contrary to section 18 of the Offences against the person Act 1861.
Assuming that Dan exercises his rights of appeal to the full, explain the composition and function of all the courts that would be involved in hearing this criminal case.
