Some of Janel Grant’s discovery filings are moving forward.
In a ruling announced on Monday, judge Colleen Zingaro of the Connecticut Superior Court ruled in favor of Janel Grant’s bill of discovery against Dr. Carlon Colker and Peak Wellness, ordering both the plantiff and defendants to submit scheduling order proposals.
Grant’s attorneys originally filed a pre-action discovery petition against Colker and Peak Wellness last year, seeking medical records related to Grant’s treatment in the clinic. Last month, Janel Grant’s team requested documents from Vince McMahon and WWE including board materials, NDA drafts, and documents reviewed by federal investigators. Included in those requests were communications between Colker and Vince McMahon. That led to WWE & McMahon filing an appeal to prevent discovery being granted.
In her lawsuit, Grant accused the defendants of facilitating her abuse by administering unapproved treatments and substances, in turn enabling Vince McMahon’s control over her. The lawsuit has claimed that Peak Wellness has failed to provide complete documentation regarding her treatment.
Back in May, Colker responded by countersuing Grant’s attorney Ann Callis and the Holland Law Firm accusing them of defamation, asserting that all medical records had been provided. Colker is seeking punitive damages.
