Allison and Gerard Baden-Clay counsellor could face contempt for not testifying

Prosecutors want Ms Ritchie [family counsellor] to testify at Baden-Clay's murder trial following the death of his wife, but she has flagged her intention to claim the sessions were privileged.

Justice Glenn Martin said if a decision was made that the counselling sessions were admissible, it was possible Ms Ritchie could be in contempt if she declined to give evidence.

Justice Martin stressed he only raised the issue of contempt in the context of examining all possible outcomes.

He also raised concerns that legal argument over counselling sessions attended by the Baden-Clays could delay the case.

Barrister George Kalimnios, for Relationships Australia, said it was ultimately up to a counsellor to decide on confidentiality.

Prosecutors will file an application for a pre-trial hearing on the issue, and Mr Kalimnios has until September 18 to submit an outline of arguments.
