All of those charged by Worksafe were due in Auckland District Court tomorrow.
However, the case has been adjourned until March 2021.
The charges do not relate to the rescue operation launched in the aftermath of the eruption - and only to events prior to it.
Those charged include the owners of the island, Whakaari Management Limited, and companies that took tourists to the island.
