Former Cash Plus boss Carlos Hill appeared in the Home Circuit Court Monday, and his trial was put off to November 21.

The fraud trial could not begin because Hill's lawyer, Valerie Neita Robertson, has been appearing in a murder trial since last week.

Hill is on bail in the sum of $15 million with sureties.

He is charged with fraudulently inducing persons to put money in his investment scheme. The offence carries a maximum sentence of seven years' imprisonment.

Hill is also charged jointly with his brother Bertram, and Peter Wilson, the former chief financial officer of Cash Plus. They are charged with obtaining money by false pretence, conspiracy to defraud and fraudulent conversion. The case is pending in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.

They were charged in April 2008, following the collapse of Cash Plus.
