A former barman accused of stealing money from a Spalding pub will go on trial next year.
Luke Jackson, 32, was due to stand trial before a jury at Lincoln Crown Court this week.
However a lack of court time and delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic meant his trial could not go ahead.
Jackson, of Sewell Way, Spalding, denies theft from the Moorings pub in Commercial Road between May 26, 2019 and November 3, 2019.
A previous hearing was told that Jackson denied any dishonesty.
His trial will now take place at Lincoln Crown Court on 7 February year. It is estimated to last four days.
Jackson was granted unconditional bail and will next appear at Lincoln Crown Court for a pre-trial hearing on November 15.
Recorder Simon King told Jackson: “Your trial can not take place. Like many areas of public life the pandemic has caused delays.”
