Mate of mine that works on the next frame is worried about his job because of a incident in Fishergate a few weeks ago, its been treated as assault but the police don’t want it in court as its lack of evidence so the cop told him he may get a police caution will he get sacked for this? I don’t know the law. Has anybody been in this situation the guy is cracking up his wife just had a baby as well.

Tell him not to accept a caution & the case will be droped, lack of evidence.
This is what happen to me.

Don't accept the caution, doing so is an admission of guilt and you will have a criminal record. Take it to court, they will have to prove all the facts, if there is not enough evidence it will be thrown out. the police want people to accept cautions as it looks good for their conviction rates.
Remember "semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit", the best translation of which seems to be: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges."

A sound principle, just a shame that for any mail accidently overlooked we have to try to prove that that is the case rather than management having to prove that it's Wilful Delay.
