    The plea was valid and voluntary: the appellant personally admitted the charge in court, agreed the factual summary which supported the offence, there was no evidence of coercion, misrepresentation or fundamental misunderstanding, and the appellant failed to prove the plea was invalid; the sentencing judge acted within discretion in imposing 10 weeks' immediate imprisonment given the nature and timing of the assault and the injuries sustained.
