If you claim from your employer on the basis of negligence following an assault at work then you probably won’t have to go to court at all. If the claim does end up in court whilst you’ll be bringing the claim against your employer, the person who committed the assault may attend court to give evidence.
If you make a claim from the CICA then there doesn’t even have to be an individual found guilty of your assault in order for compensation to be paid.
If you seek compensation for your injuries directly from an assailant, then you might face them in a court hearing.
