Supreme Court judge Justice Glenn Martin gives Allison's father Geoffrey James Dickie temporary control of her estate, including her life insurance policy. If he is convicted, Allison's parents will be able to go back to court for a permanent order granting them control of their daughter's estate. They say it shows Allison had traces of an anti-depressant drug in her blood - leaving open the possibility that she took her own life. But Justice Peter Applegarth dismisses the application, ruling there is no material change of circumstances and the strength of the crown case is unaffected by the results.
Baden-Clay's committal hearing begins and the crown alleges Baden-Clay killed his wife because he wanted her insurance payouts to clear his debts and to be with his mistress. The court hears his wife had suffered from depression and had used medication to cope, and her marriage was troubled. A forensic expert says he believes injuries to Baden-Clay, which were photographed by police after he reported his wife missing, were caused by fingernail scratches.
Queensland MP Dr Bruce Flegg tells the court he heard a woman scream on the night before Allison was reported missing. Speaking outside the court, Dr Flegg explains his decision not to report it to police that night, saying: "There was nothing to suggest it would be a criminal or police related matter. A senior Queensland Health forensic expert says some of Baden-Clay's facial injuries may have been scratch marks, but says it is possible some were caused by shaving.

Baden-Clay's pre-trial hearing begins in Supreme Court, which hears from pathologist Dr Nathan Milne who conducted the autopsy on Allison. Counsellor Carmel Ritchie also gives evidence, saying Allison told her she had taken an anti-malarial tablet during her honeymoon that had caused psychotic episodes, depression and panic attacks. Ms Ritchie tells the court Allison spoke of her husband's affair with an employee, how she had confronted him when she found out, and he was now honest and taking responsibility.
