Former finance company boss Trevor Allan Ludlow has had his trial date pushed back by another year to give him time to appeal a decision to deny him legal representation.
Ludlow and fellow former National Finance directors Carol Braithwaite and Anthony Banbrook were due to stand trial in the High Court at Auckland earlier this week on alleged financial reporting breaches.
The finance company, which took deposits from investors and invested in car loans, collapsed in 2006 owing investors $24 million.
The trial will now go ahead in July next year, due to the legal aid issue and because it's understood to be the next available date for the trial, which is expected to last four weeks.
Ludlow applied for legal aid last year but only sought a review of a decision that denied him representation after he was convicted of Serious Fraud Office charges last month.
