PHOENIX (AP) -Lawyers for Phoenix Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky are trying to keep his personal finances out of the team’s bankruptcy case.
Responding to a motion by the City of Glendale to review Gretzky’s income tax returns, Gretzky’s attorneys argue that he is a California resident and is entitled to that state’s privacy protections. They also say his personal finances aren’t relevant to the complicated legal battle over the team’s sale.
Glendale “has not demonstrated and cannot demonstrate that its need for disclosure of Mr. Gretzky’s personal financial information outweighs any privacy claim by Mr. Gretzky in such information,” according to a filing by Gretzky’s lawyers.
