In illegal offences, what does GBH stand for?

Answer 1

Grievous bodily harm

Grievous bodily harm means serious bodily harm. (Archbold 19-206). It is for the jury to decide whether the harm is serious. However, examples of what would usually amount to serious harm include:
injury resulting in permanent disability or permanent loss of sensory function;
injury which results in more than minor permanent, visible disfigurement; broken or displaced limbs or bones, including fractured skull;
compound fractures, broken cheek bone, jaw, ribs, etc;
injuries which cause substantial loss of blood, usually necessitating a transfusion;
injuries resulting in lengthy treatment or incapacity;
psychiatric injury. As with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, appropriate expert evidence is essential to prove the injury.
