Britney Spears wins British court injunction to stop leaks about rehab stay - International Herald Tribune
Legal Bar On Britney Info - Sky News



We can confirm that an emergency injunction was obtained in Londons High Court this afternoon as ordered by Mr Justice Gray 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.  This injunction will now be served on the UK media so as to assist them in not making the mistake of carrying such further disclosures if approached by this person or his/her agent.  Ms Spears reserves the right and intends to challenge false allegations which have already been published about her time in rehabilitation and which are the subject of ongoing legal complaint.  Applications are pending in Londons 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.
