Durban - The Durban High Court on Friday adjourned the civil case brought by the murder-accused Lotter siblings against the Legal Aid Board.
Nicolette and Hardus Lotter launched an application to force the board to appoint legal representatives of their choice.
This was after attempts by their lawyer Danie Grundlingh to get another advocate and secure three "occult specialists" in preparation for a defence of Satanism were turned down by the board.
The Lotters and Mathew Naidoo are accused of killing the siblings' parents, Johannes and Magdalena, at their Westville home last year.
Naidoo was released on bail in February while his two co-accused remained behind bars.
The matter was adjourned to a date that had not yet been arranged.
It also emerged in court on Friday that the court would start by dealing with an application from Christelle Lotter who has lodged an application to block her sister and brother’s inheritance.
