London Lawyers for Britney Spears won a British court
injunction yesterday designed to prevent publication of stories
about her recent stay in rehab.
The injunction bars unidentified "person or persons . . . who
has/have been leaking information about Ms. Spears's time in a
rehabilitation clinic from further disclosures invading her
privacy," said Schillings, the 25-year-old pop star's London law
firm.
The injunction was issued at the High Court by Judge Charles
Gray.
Spears left Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment
Facility in California "after successfully completing their
program," her manager, Larry Rudolph, said this week. She entered
the facility Feb. 22 after a bout of bizarre behaviour.
Schillings said Spears planned to ask the court to force media
outlets that had printed stories about her time in rehab to reveal
their sources so that the source of the leak could be identified
"and action can be taken against him/her."
Spears hasn't disclosed why she sought treatment at Promises, which
offers detox, counselling and 12-step programs. AP
