PW Insider reported that Cook County Circuit Judge Daniel
Kubasiak tossed Scott Colton's (Colt Cabana) lawsuit against Phil Brooks (C.M.
Punk) over $200,000 in legal fees from the Dr. Christopher Amann lawsuit. The
judge ruled that Colton failed to prove Brooks made him a clear offer that could
be perceived as an enforceable contract and that there was no written contract
between them that suggested that Brooks would cover Colton’s legal fees stemming
from the trial. Colton and his lawyers have filed a second lawsuit. Colton
claims that Brooks believed when he made the statements on Colton's podcast that
WWE was likely to file a lawsuit and he claimed Brooks told him he'd 100 percent
cover him. He said that he cooperated with Brooks in the lawsuit with Amann
because of what he was told. We still have no idea what caused the two friends
to fall out in April 2016 that caused Brooks to tell Colton that he would no
longer cover his legal bills. Colton's new lawsuit is looking for $200,000 to
pay for the legal bills from the lawsuit. |
