The trial of Kevin Robert King, who is charged with manslaughter over the death of Blenheim man Matt Heagney, has been set for November 22 in the High Court at Wellington.
King is a former co-owner of the bar formerly known as Shapeshifters.
Mr Heagney, 24, died after being injured in or outside the bar about 2.40am on August 23 last year.
King's trial date was set in the Blenheim District Court on Tuesday. King did not appear.
When he appeared in the Christchurch District Court last November, his charge sheet read: "Having undertaken to eject Matthew Patrick Heagney from the premises of Shapeshifters Bar, [he] was under legal duty to prevent injury dangerous to life, omitted without lawful excuse to discharge that duty, such omission causing the death of Heagney and thereby committed manslaughter."
