A judge Wednesday ruled that Britney Spears does not have to be deposed by her father's lawyers in the post-conservatorship era. But a lawyer for the elder Spears said he will ask for an appellate review of that and two other decisions by the judge.
Britney Spears is challenging an accounting and a fees request and her father's lawyers want to explore her thoughts on the topics and ask her for any relevant documents.
The judge said the information could be obtained through written questions to Britney Spears and testimony from other parties. Jamie Spears' lawyer, Alex Weingarten, said he will seek an appellate review of all three decisions, saying his client is entitled to the two depositions and the documents under the law.
"Mr. Spears is proud of what he has done for his daughter in protecting her from svengalis, Rasputins and other unscrupulous people," Weingarten said.
