A dispute over the payment of rent landed two men in court after a physical altercation.
Charged for wounding is Lloyd Edwards, who pleaded guilty.
On Friday when the matter was called up in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court, the complainant told the court that he was inside his home having dinner when he was attacked.
The court was told that the accused man punched the complainant in the forehead, cutting him.
Edwards, however, told Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey that it was the complainant who attacked him with a weapon. When asked if that was the truth, the complainant said, "No, your honour."
Edwards was then fined $15,000 or six months' imprisonment.
A fingerprint order was also made.
