Kieran Bradley (47) of Rosemount Gardens in Derry faces one charge of trading in endangered species on dates between December 9, 2016 and January 11, 2017.

At today's hearing a defence barrister Dean Mooney told the court the contest is planned for the end of this month.

He asked for a review to be held before that date so he can seek 'some clarification' from the Public Prosecution Service as to what is included in the charge.

He said it was a 'very unusual charge' and added that he would need that information in advance of the contest date.

The case was adjourned until November 15.
