A Bournemouth man has successfully overturned his conviction for counts of assault by beating and criminal damage.
Gary Dear, 43, of Ensbury Park Road, was convicted by magistrates after a trial in October last year, but this was dismissed on appeal to Bournemouth Crown Court on December 20.
However, a restraining order made against him was upheld.
