Simon Appleby, aged 39, was expected to face justice at Shrewsbury Crown Court today after previously admitting a charge of fraud by false representation.
However, his basis of plea is disputed by the Crown Prosecution Service, so a Newton hearing will be held on February 3 next year for a judge to decide if they accept his version of events.
