Mediaset SpA (MS.MI) said Friday that an Italian court hearing relating to a dispute between the Italian broadcaster and its shareholder Vivendi (VIV.FR) was moved to allow more time for a potential solution to their conflict.

Previously, French media company Vivendi had asked a court in Milan to issue a preliminary suspension and halt Mediaset's plan to merge its Italian and Spanish businesses into one company, creating a pan-European media group.

The court hearing--originally scheduled for Friday--was postponed until Nov. 29, Mediaset said.
