All six appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 8 July charged with conspiracy to commit fraud.
They were granted unconditional bail at the time, which was extended today.
No pleas were entered.
The judge said Robert John Dalley would not have to appear at the new 19 December hearing following a request from his lawyer.
