The retrial of the Attorney General Stephen Harding was due to get underway this week.
Last month, a jury failed to reach a verdict when Mr Harding was tried on charges of perjury and committing acts against public justice.
The 52-year-old of Glen Vine denies the charges.
Acting Deemster Peter Birkett will once again preside over the trial which is listed for 10 days in courtroom 3 at the Court of General Gaol Delivery.
The Crown allege Mr Harding misled a court at a winding-up hearing, and then lied on oath to cover his tracks at a subsequent Advocates’ Disciplinary Tribunal. Mr Harding was the government advocate representing Treasury at the winding-up hearing of Peel-based Street Heritage Limited on February 24, 2010.
He is accused of acts against public justice contrary to Section 347 of the Criminal Code 1872 (as amended) by allegedly creating and submitting false documentation to the Advocates Disciplinary Tribunal on diverse dates between April 1, 2010 and September 30, 2010.
He is also accused of an offence under Section 1(1) of the Perjury Act 1952 (as amended).
The Crown alleges that having been lawfully sworn as a witness in proceedings before the tribunal, in which he was the accused, the defendant wilfully made a statement he knew to be false about a file note of February 23, 2010, said to be a record of a 10-minute telephone conversation he had with Jeremy Carter, an advocate acting for SHL when in fact there was no such telephone call at that time.
