alleged fraud case against former travel agent Peter Newberry will go to trial in Benidorm on October 5, 2011.
Lawyers acting on behalf of those affected by the alleged fraud have issued a list if names of the people who are to be called as witnesses in the case and who may be entitled to compensation.
Mr Newberry disappeared from his travel agents in Calle Moncada, Dénia in December 2001, leaving hundreds of expats without the Christmas holidays they had booked and paid for.
In some cases clients had handed over hundreds of thousands of pesetas in advance of their holiday with one couple claiming they lost 1.5 million pesetas paid for a 'holiday of a lifetime' to South America with their son.
As reported in Costa Blanca News at the time, Mr Newberry was a regular lay preacher at La Ermita church in Jávea but as soon as news broke over his disappearance he failed to turn up for Sunday services.
The law firm representing alleged victims says that those that made statements to the court at the time are legally bound to attend the October hearing and to that end they will receive an official court summons.
