Father Assaulted - police no help?

My father was assaulted in the UK a few months ago, and the police seemed to not want to proceed. He was hit three times in the face in his own garden. The guy who did it was cautioned.

The then, on two separate occasions drove his lorry through a corner section of the front garden wall, which my father has now rebuilt.

What would the costs be like to take this through a civil court, and can people independantly launch criminal proceedings?

We are taking legal advice, but any help or hints from people with experience of this would be mych appreciated.

    I'd say the best way to handle it is to go down to his precinct and announce to the entire force that he slept with your father. The punishment he receives from them will be worse than anything you could do.

    Contact the prosecuter. Demand this man be prosecuted. He should get the police up off their arses.
