Aaron David Alexander, 49, has pleaded not guilty to 108 counts of obtaining property by deception and was due to go to hearing on Monday in the ACT Magistrates Court, which was then adjourned to Tuesday.

Prosecutors allege that in 2017 and 2018 he used the club's money to finance his own lifestyle by buying movie tickets, a car lease, registration for his Land Rover Defender and a dart board.

It's alleged in transactions worth more than $100,000 he unlawfully transferred money to his own account, used the club credit card or withdrew the club's cash.

Mr Alexander is a former president of the club.

The case met a hurdle on Monday when Magistrate James Lawton questioned what the deception was that formed the basis of the charges.

The case was then adjourned to allow the prosecutor, Marcus Dyason, and the defence attorney, Richard Chen, to sort out the problem.

However, the matter remained unresolved when the court sat again on Tuesday with Magistrate Lawson saying that in 101 of the 108 charges, a statutory alternative was available to the prosecution but this would "fundamentally change the nature of the prosecution case".

"There needs to be clarity now," said a clearly annoyed Magistrate Lawton.

"These are very serious allegations of misappropriation and we must ensure that Mr Alexander receives procedural fairness."
