Eleanor Williams has been charged with eight counts of perverting the course of justice.
A trial started at Preston Crown Court on Monday.
But, following legal discussions on Tuesday, it has now been adjourned.
A future date for the trial to resume is yet to be set.

She has denied all wrongdoing in relation to the charges.
The defendant has already been forced to wait more than 18 months to face trial since she was first arrested over the alleged offences.
