Judge’s lawyer said he estimated the hearing to go for three hours and Mr Hudson set it down for June 25.

When asked by Mr Hudson if CCTV footage would be played, the lawyer said “potentially”.

The prosecutor said body worn footage would “certainly” be used with the matter returning to court on March 28 for readiness mention.

The former Rebel bikie associate nearly died more than a decade ago after being stabbed at least nine times while outside his Bellevue Hill apartment.

A man was later acquitted of the attack.
