Hide AdRichard Ogden, prosecuting, said the case was “not suitable” to be heard at Magistrates’ Court as it involved “weapons which could have caused serious injury”.
Magistrates agreed the case would be transferred to Leeds Crown Court, where all three defendants will next appear on October 12.
Martyn Lord represented the brothers while mum-of-six Ms Price was represented by Damien Walsh.
Chief magistrate Margaret Bradley granted the siblings bail.
But Mr Ogden appealed the decision.
