Court
Halts Leaks Of Britney
Spears Rehab
Details
Lawyers
for Britney
Spears
won an emergency
injunction in High Court
on Thursday preventing
further details
appearing in the press
about the US singer's
stint in a
rehabilitation
centre.
According
to media solicitors
Schillings, they are
also seeking an order
requiring media outlets
to disclose the source
of the leaks.
"An
emergency injunction was
obtained in London's
High Court on behalf of
Britney Spears to
restrain the person or
persons, known as 'John
Doe', who has/have been
leaking information
about Ms Spears' time in
a rehabilitation clinic
from further disclosures
invading her privacy,"
Schillings
said.
Britney
Spears, 25, checked into
the Promises Malibu
Treatment Centre on
February 21 after
shaving her head
following weeks of
erratic public behaviour
that coincided with an
escalating divorce
battle.
The
statement issued on
Thursday said Britney
Spears, who recently
left the luxury Malibu
facility, intended to
challenge false
allegations that have
already been
published.
"Applications
are pending in London's
High Court to seek an
order requiring certain
UK media organisations
to disclose their
respective sources so
that John Doe can be
identified and action
can be taken against
him/her," Schillings
said.
The
former teen idol, a
mother of two, was
photographed on several
occasions making her way
to Alcoholics Anonymous
meetings outside the
rehab facility during
her stay
there.
