Honorary Recorder of Chester Judge Steven Everett, sitting with two magistrates, also ordered Amesbury to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work, undertake a 12-month alcohol monitoring requirement, go on an anger management course and carry out 20 days of rehabilitation work.
Former Labour MP Mike Amesbury will walk free after winning an appeal against his 10-week jail sentence for punching a man in the street.
However, his lawyer launched an appeal shortly after he was sentenced and after the appeal was heard at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, the judge said his jail time should be suspended.
He remains an independent MP and will continue to receive his £91,000 salary under parliamentary rules, which state an MP only has their salary removed when they are no longer an MP.
Amesbury, 55, pleaded guilty to beating by assault in January after punching Paul Fellows, 45, in Main Street, Frodsham, Cheshire, in the early hours of 26 October after his constituent asked him about a bridge closure.
