Stratford businessman John-David (JD) Graham was back in court Monday morning where he had his case adjourned for the third time in six weeks.
Graham, who operates P’Lovers Eco Lifestyle on Ontario Street with his wife Susan, is facing eight counts of fraud stemming from his tenure as lending manager with the Perth Community Futures Development Corporation (PCFDC).
He was previously found guilty of fraud in a civil lawsuit and ordered to pay back over $763,000 to the PCFDC.
Graham is scheduled to appear back in Ontario Provincial Court on Monday, July 23 at 10:30 a.m. It’s expected at that time he will either enter a plea or a trial date will be set.
Justice Kathryn McKerlie granted Graham the additional four weeks for him to retain a lawyer.
She suggested, however, that there would be no more adjournments, adding, "It’s time to move this matter forward."
Graham continues to have to abide by a lengthy list of bail conditions, including that he not have contact with or enter the place of residence or work of a list of individuals who could be called as witnesses in a trial
