Britney Spears Wins Injunction Against John Doe    ·    March 24th, 2007

The troubled pop star won a court order against a mystery person who leaked information about her time in rehab.

Britney Spears obtained an emergency injunction against a mystery person, who reportedly was leaking information about her time in rehab, to the British press.

The injunction was obtained on Spears’ behalf on Thursday afternoon in London’s high court, according to a statement from the media law firm, Schillings.

The injunction is intended “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.”

Spears, 25, entered the Promises rehab facility on February 20 and finished her stint this week. According to the law firm, Spears plans to “challenge false allegations” already published about her time in rehab, and that it is seeking a legal order to force “certain U.K. media organizations” to reveal the identity of their sources so that “action can be taken against him/her.”
