The former executives of the Gordon 'Butch' Stewart-owned Appliance Traders (ATL) Group who are facing fraud charges are to next appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on October 11.

The date was set last Thursday when the three appeared in court for a case management hearing.

The prosecution is expected to disclose further documents to the defence.

Accused Patrick Lynch, Dr Jeffery Pyne and Catherine Barber are facing the court as a result of a high-level multi-million-dollar investigation into the ATL Group pension scheme.

Allegations are that payments of over 600 million Jamaican dollars (over $7 million US dollars) were made from the ATL Pension Fund by forged documents from 1998 to 2008. Employees of the company in the Bahamas were not affected.

The three are currently on $5 million bail each.

Lynch is being represented by Frank Phipps, QC and his daughter Kathryn; Barber is being represented by Patrick Atkinson, QC and Debra Martin; while Pyne is being represented by KD Knight, QC and John Junor.
