In litigation brought by Chartwell Law Offices over a failed merger, one of the defendants is seeking to subpoena LinkedIn records, alleging that his account was hacked and that could affect the civil case.

Brian J. Huott has filed a motion to appoint a commissioner in Chartwell Law Offices’ multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Wadsworth Huott over the firms’ failed combination, so he can obtain records from LinkedIn about his account on the professional networking website and depose the company.
