HALIFAX - A judge has adjourned the case of a former provincial politician facing multiple charges in connection with the spending scandal at the Nova Scotia legislature.
Former Liberal member Dave Wilson was expected to enter a plea today but the case was put off until Sept. 2 because his lawyer, Mark Gouthro, is no longer representing him.
Wilson did not appear in Halifax provincial court.
He faces 31 charges of uttering forged documents and one count each of breach of trust and fraud.
The former member for Glace Bay resigned without explanation in March 2010, saying only that he could no longer fulfil his duties.
He is one of three former and one current members of the legislature charged by the RCMP in February following a nine-month investigation.
