What you term as a "floating case" at Crown Court are those which the Judge, on receiving the Case Papers, may feel that an appropriate plea would be best entered so as to avoid wasting the Court's time. What this means basically is that lawyers acting for the CPS and Defence will be asked to get together to discuss the case and agree to enter a plea
It seems that the Judge may feel that a Not Guilty plea should be substituted to one of Guilty, or vice versa, based on what he/she has gleaned from reading the Case Papers, and not that the case is to be abandoned as you seem to fear by your post. So, in a nutshell, you can be assured that the case will be heard (eventually).
