The senior judge said the trial is estimated to last seven days, telling Brocket: "I apologise to all concerned in this case that it is so far in to the future but the combination of an increasing backlog of cases coming to court and those in custody matters must take priority."
Brocket, of Fulham, west London, had earlier spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth during the pre-trial preparation hearing.
He sat quietly in the dock, wearing a slate grey suit and white open neck shirt, as the lawyers worked through administrative details.
Brocket was conditionally bailed to next appear before the same court for a case management hearing set for 9 January 2026.
A pre-trial review in preparation for the trial was set 7 October 2027.
