BUSINESSMAN Adrian Scoon and several others charged in connection with a Boxing Day brunch aboard the Ocean Pelican vessel in 2021 will have to wait until May 6 for a new trial date.

Scoon, party promoter Shadeed Abdullah, and 90-plus patrons returned to court on March 10, expecting their trial to commence but were met with yet another delay.

The matter, which has been before the court since March 2022, was previously set for trial by Magistrate Kerri Ann Byer but has now been reassigned to Magistrate Debra Quintyne.
