The case will now be heard on June 28 - it was originally scheduled for Thursday - under agreement by all parties involved.
The independent panel will compromise of James Dingemans QC (chairman), Ian Mill QC and Tim Ward QC at a venue yet to be confirmed.
Welsh won this season's Championship after beating Cornish Pirates in both legs of the final.
But the Richmond-based club were told just hours before the first leg kicked off in Cornwall they did not meet minimum standards criteria set down by English rugby's Professional Game Board for entry to the Premiership.
The Exiles played the final's second leg at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, which is thought to be their preferred venue should they gain top-flight status.
As things stand, Newcastle will remain in the Premiership next term despite finishing bottom a point behind Wasps this season.
But should London Welsh succeed in overturning an original decision that went against them, they will go up and the Falcons be relegated.

London copper steadies; China physical demand slow - msnbc.com
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - London copper edged down on Tuesday, as investors refocused on the problems that still beset the euro zone after a surge in Spanish and Italian bond yields, and as optimism over the Greek elections result faded.
Losses were expected to be capped ahead of the United States Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting starting on Tuesday, with some economists predicting that the U.S. central bank may unveil more stimulus measures in response to recent disappointing economic data.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange edged down just $4 to $7,506 a metric ton by 0728 GMT after slipping less than a dollar on Monday.
Prices hit a high of $7,615 in the prior session, the highest since May 30 on the election victory of Greece's pro-bailout parties, but soon retreated after that relief faded.
The most-active October copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange inched down 0.5 percent to 54,670 yuan ($8,600) a metric ton, after rising slightly on Monday.
"The Greek election result was just a short-term boost, while Spain's financial problems are the bigger and longer-term problem. With so many uncertainties surrounding the euro zone now, it's hard to maintain any upward momentum," said a Shanghai-based trader.
Still, some investors expected the Fed to announce some form of monetary easing this month - a belief that also helped to put a floor under prices.
"There are many people out there who think that the U.S. Fed will roll out some form of monetary easing during its upcoming meeting," said a second Shanghai-based trader.
In the physical market, traders said copper demand in top consumer China continued to be sluggish.
"We feel a marked slowdown in demand for our products this year as compared to the same period in previous years. Domestic demand is slowing, and so is Europe's demand for China's exports," said an executive with a top Chinese copper fabricator.
"Other than the electronics industry, which is still doing OK, the rest of our downstream clients are struggling. The government's infrastructure spending has not started to benefit our clients in the construction industry yet."
Although liquidity was gradually easing and Beijing has approved a number of infrastructure projects, industry participants said its impact on copper markets would only be felt late in the third quarter or towards the end of the year.

Former TOWIE star Amy Childs shows off impressive cleavage in tight gold monokini - Daily Mail
By J J Anisiobi
|
With her former co-stars in The Only Way Is Essex having jetted out to Marbella, and Mark Wright visiting Hollywood, it was only fair that Amy Childs got some sunshine too.
The reality TV star headed to Dubai last week for a few days of fun in the sun and she chose to sport a very revealing monokini.
The 22-year-old was barely able to contain her more than ample cleavage in the gold swimwear as she frolicked at the poolside.
Looking big: Amy Childs appeared to have increased her more than ample chest size as she holidayed in Dubai, last week
Amy recently revealed that she was unhappy with her 32C breast size and had vowed to upgrade her chest to a larger 32DD.
Judging from these photographs the red haired beauty has no need to go under the knife as her chest looked more than big enough, thanks to her supportive cupping.
She told new! magazine, last month: 'When I first got them done, they were up here. They were so nice and pert.
Slipping off: The reality TV star recently announced that she was unhappy with her 32C breast size and had vowed to upgrade her chest to a larger 32DD
All washed up: Amy was joined on holiday by her younger cousin Harry Derbidge who wore an attention grabbing pair of yellow shorts
Rubbing it in: Amy was covered in sunblock by her handy cousin who was more than happy to oblige
'All implants drop, but mine have especially. Maybe it’s because I was too young and still growing. I’ve had all my consultations now and decided on a 32DD.'
A spokeswoman for Childs confirmed to the Mail Online that she had not had any surgery and said: 'Amy hasn't had her boob job yet, she has a push up bikini on.'
The former Celebrity Big Brother star looked in superb shape as she strutted her stuff around the pool and showed off her amazing curves in the tight number.
Lucky guy: Harry is sure to be the envy of many men as he got to get up close and personal with Amy's suspected new assets
She accessorised the outfit with a stack of gold bangles from Lemonade, and a large pair of aviator sunglasses.
The vajazzling queen was joined on the jaunt by her little cousin Harry Derbidge, and he was on hand to make sure that she didn't burn in the sun.
All aboard: The former TOWIE star gave Harry a piggy-back as the pair frolicked in the swimming pool
Harry, 18, is sure to be the envy of many men as he was tasked with putting protective sunblock lotion on Amy's body.
Derbidge was said to be devastated after he was axed from TOWIE, but he has been living the high life following his successful relative around.
Harry, who wore a pair of bright luminous yellow shorts, couldn't hold his laughter back as he rubbed cream on Amy's arms, back and chest.
Having a laugh: Amy and Harry had fun in Dubai and Amy looked particularly in great shape in her gold swimwear
Feeling hot: The red haired celebrity definitely appeared to have a larger cup size than she has in the past
After making sure she was wearing a full body of protection, Amy delicately slipped off her white wedges and dipped her toes in the water.
It wasn't long before the pair were larking around as Harry jumped on Amy's back and she gave him a piggy-back.
Miss Childs showed some impressive strength carrying her cousin and flexed her particularly toned thighs as she walked through the shallow water.
Style queen: Amy later put on a long open kaftan as she headed to the beach with her personalised large brown bag
Family ties: Harry was said to be gutted when he got cut from TOWIE, but the young star has been living the high life in the shadow of his cousin
No doubt her new muscles are the result of recent fitness DVD, Amy Childs – Fit in 30 Days.
Despite working up a sweat, the pair were not done with their day of fun and walked down to the beach to spend the rest of their time working on their tans.
While Harry put on a sleeveless grey shirt, Amy slightly covered up in a long open kaftan and accessorised with a personalised ClaireaBella bag.
Helping hand: Harry looked more like Amy's assistant than her cousin as he helped her keep her stylish outfit together on the beach
