Grant attorneys say Colker, Peak Wellness ‘admit’ to withholding medical records; Vince McMahon paid for doctor
In a new filing in Connecticut Superior Court on Friday, attorneys for Janel Grant claimed counsel for Dr. Carlon Colker and Peak Wellness admitted Vince McMahon paid for Colker to be her doctor and Peak Wellness withheld her medical records.
The two claims were part of Grant’s complaint filed against McMahon, World Wrestling Entertainment and John Laurinaitis last year in federal civil court. Grant said McMahon forced her to see Colker, was medicated against her will and wasn’t given access to her medical records.
Grant’s filing was in response to a supplemental filing by Colker’s attorneys on Wednesday. Colker and Peak Wellness asked Connecticut Superior Court to dismiss Grant’s bill of discovery complaint stating it didn’t follow Connecticut state statute because Grant intended to use information from the state discovery to name Colker and Peak Wellness as defendants in her federal civil suit.
Colker and Peak Wellness said the bill of discovery should also be denied because some of the information gathered by Grant’s counsel was part of confidential settlement communications.
In Friday’s memorandum, Grant’s attorneys said the settlement communications were null and void once they were disclosed by attorneys for Colker and Peak Wellness on Wednesday. They also disagreed with Colker’s attorneys on discovery and state law, saying no state statute in Connecitcut keeps discovery in state court from being used in a federal case.
