Hunecke faced a charge of causing death by dangerous driving at a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
His legal team pleaded not guilty on his behalf.
Lord Mulholland set a trial which is scheduled to begin in December 2025.
Hunecke, whose address is marked as care of an Aberdeen law firm, remains on bail meantime.
Reports at the time told how the road was closed for around seven hours to allow a police investigation to be carried out.
In a tribute, Mr Gall's wife Gaynor said: "Michael was a wonderful, loving husband and a devoted father."
Others described him as "a true gent", "a lovely man" and "a legend".
