Five people charged with committing New Zealand's biggest white-collar fraud return to court today.
The $1.7 billion case against the South Canterbury Finance defendants is due to be called in Timaru.
But the five are not expected to arrive in person.
They are former South Canterbury Finance chief executive Lachie McLeod, Timaru chartered accountant Terry Hutton and former chief financial officer Graeme Brown.
Interim name suppression remains in force for another two co-accused in the case.
