Pop singer Britney Spears was granted an emergency injunction in the High Court in London yesterday, preventing further details of her stay in rehab being published by the media.
According to media solicitors Schillings, the singer's legal team is also seeking an order requiring media outlets to disclose the source of leaks about her time in the Promises Malibu Treatment Centre.
Schillings said: "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."
"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."
Spears recently left the rehab facility after spending four weeks receiving treatment there.
