Gwyneth Paltrow: Testimony gets personal in ski crash trial

Daughter of actress's accuser grilled over missing GoPro footage, emails and father's health problems

Gwyneth Paltrow's lawyers on Thursday questioned the daughter of a man suing the Oscar-winning actress over a 2016 ski collision about a series of personal emails and missing GoPro camera footage referred to as “the most important piece of evidence” in the trial.

Steve Owens, Paltrow's lawyer, asked one of the man's daughters, Polly Grasham, about email communication with her father over GoPro footage that has mysteriously disappeared and the possibility that the lawsuit was filed against Paltrow because she was famous.

“I'm famous … At what cost?” Terry Sanderson, the 76-year-old retired optometrist suing Paltrow, wrote in the subject line of an email sent to family, taking a swipe at the actress after the incident in which the two collided on a Park City, Utah, slope.

Paltrow has previously called the lawsuit an attempt to exploit her fame and celebrity.

Mr Owens asked Ms Grasham why her father sent messages referring to her fame.

“It matches his personality a little bit, making light of a serious situation,” Ms Grasham said of the email.

The GoPro footage of the accident has so far not been found nor has it been included as evidence for the trial.

Mr Sanderson is suing Paltrow for more than $300,000 in damages, claiming the Shakespeare in Love star skied recklessly into him on a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort seven years ago, breaking his ribs and leaving him with a concussion.

The actress has claimed Mr Sanderson caused the crash and has countersued for $1 and legal fees.

The trial took on an increasingly personal tone on the third day of proceedings when Mr Sanderson's daughter and a neuropsychologist painted a grim picture of the retired optometrist's life.

Giving evidence via video in a recorded deposition, Dr Alina Fong said that when she first met Mr Sanderson in 2017, he had “myriad” symptoms indicative of having suffered a concussion.

“It affected him on so many levels, especially for someone who was used to loving life … by the time he came to me, that was pretty much gone.”

Dr Fong challenged the opinions of other medical experts employed by Paltrow’s defence, saying: “This has completely changed his life physically, emotionally, biologically — and he has been affected in all those domains.”

She said there was no evidence that Mr Sanderson was “faking” his injuries and he had been “an ideal patient”.

Mr Sanderson was not present during the detailing of his health problems.

Paltrow's lawyers questioned whether Ms Grasham and Dr Fong could say with certainty that Mr Sanderson's downturn was not a result of ageing or documented, pre-crash conditions.

They also questioned Ms Grasham about her father's anger problems, divorces and estranged relationship with another of his daughters, who is not giving evidence at the trial.

Paltrow is expected to be called to give evidence on Friday or early next week, when the eight-day trial continues.

Her lawyers have tried to represent Mr Sanderson's health problems as a natural of ageing rather than the results of a crash and indicated in opening statements that they plan to call Paltrow's husband Brad Falchuk and her two children, Moses and Apple, to the stand.

The burning issue

The internal combustion engine is facing a watershed moment – major manufacturer Volvo is to stop producing petroleum-powered vehicles by 2021 and countries in Europe, including the UK, have vowed to ban their sale before 2040. The National takes a look at the story of one of the most successful technologies of the last 100 years and how it has impacted life in the UAE.

What the law says

Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.

“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.

“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”

If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.
