Much of what was stated in legal filings on Wednesday in the Joe Gibbs Racing vs. Chris Gabehart and Spire Motorsports lawsuit and countersuit was a rehash of previous allegations.
However, what was not a rehash, was JGR deciding to withdraw one of the allegations it made in an amended complaint.
…
This was one of the more significant claims Joe Gibbs Racing has made since litigation began in February. However, Gibbs has now asked the court to strike this allegation from the record and that motion has been granted.
Specifically, JGR stated the following on the matter in a Wednesday filing:
“In discovery Spire Motorsports II, LLC (“Spire”) requested information supporting the allegations contained in paragraph 129 of the Second Amended Complaint. JGR responded to Spire’s request and concedes that it does not possess nonprivileged information sufficient to support the allegations contained in paragraph 129 of the Second Amended Complaint.”
The caveat here is that JGR says they do not have non-privileged information, but that’s a moot point as the plaintiffs cannot use information protected by attorney-client privilege.
