LINDSAY LOHAN LAWSUIT DEVELOPMENT
In the legal saga that is Lindsay Lohan's life, her current court battle just got a little less complicated - as a scheduled January hearing has been canceled after being deemed unnecessary.
Stemming from a lawsuit brought on by Raymundo Ortega, who was involved in a car accident with Lohan, recent AP reports tell, "Her lawyers were scheduled to ask a judge next month to compel Ortega to prove the actress was drunk. Instead, they filed to cancel the Los Angeles Superior Court hearing, saying Ortega provided responses to their discovery request."
But that doesn't mean that Lindsay's lawyers aren't going to fight it. Ortega is seeking a mere $200,000 in damages, while the "Georgia Rule" actress is countersuing for $75,000.
One source told press that Raymundo's team found, "a copy of Lohan's bar tab from lunch the day of the crash, which showed that her party of five ordered four Ivy Gimlets--a vodka cocktail--over the course of the meal. Of course, it could be difficult, if not impossible, to prove that Lohan, who was 19 at the time, was one of the recipients of the drinks, especially two years after the fact."
The Lohan legal team also added that California Highway Patrol had no evidence that she had been drinking, and clearly cited Ortega for the fault of the accident.
