Stuart Syvret.
FORMER Senator Stuart Syvret’s bid to halt proceedings against him on the grounds that the prosecuting authorities abused their powers has failed.
Assistant Magistrate Bridget Shaw has ruled that he should stand trial for alleged minor motoring and data protection offences.
The motoring trial started at around 11 am on Thursday, just minutes after Mrs Shaw, who is presiding over the case, delivered her decision.
