Favouring trial on it as fresh objections (13)
I believe the answer is:
protestations
'objections' is the definition.
('protestation' can be a synonym of 'objection')
'favouring trial on it as fresh' is the wordplay.
'favouring trial' becomes 'protest' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'it'+'as'='onitas'
'onitas' with letters rearranged gives 'ations'.
'protest'+'ations'='PROTESTATIONS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
