Gilhuys back in court, but not on the bench

Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys was yesterday placed on self-bail on six traffic offences he allegedly committed while being involved in a motor accident earlier this month.

When he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, the 54-year-old magistrate pleaded not guilty to the charges of careless driving, being an unlicensed driver, failure to produce a driver’s licence, having an uninsured motor vehicle, having an uncertified motor vehicle and having an unlicensed motor vehicle, when they were read to him by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.
