Peter Clifford to be sentenced over worker Dale Baker's death
Peter Clifford is due to attend court next month after a worker, 30, died while renovating a house.
A man is due to be sentenced after the death of a construction worker more than five years ago.
Peter Clifford, 63, formerly of Holland Road, Felixstowe, Suffolk, pleaded guilty to gross negligence manslaughter at a hearing in February.
Worker Dale Baker, 30, who was from Felixstowe, sustained serious injuries while carrying out renovations on a house in Woodbridge on 15 December 2020, and died at the scene.
A Newton hearing, which is a mini-trial and heard without a jury, is due to be held on 15 September at Ipswich Crown Court, to establish the facts in the case ahead of sentencing.
A warrant for Clifford's arrest had been issued by the court after he failed to attend a number of hearings.
He was arrested by Police Scotland at an address in Aberdeenshire before being brought back to Suffolk.
Newton hearings are held when the prosecution and defence barristers do not agree on what is a fact in the case.
A judge will make the final decision before considering what sentence to hand down.
