The Court's Decision
On Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny removed Jamie from oversight of his daughter's $60-million estate during the contentious three-hour hearing, as per Reuters. A new November date was also set for the discussion of whether to terminate the whole conservatorship entirely.
"It's a great day for Britney Spears, and it's a great day for justice," Britney's attorney Mathew Rosengart told fans outside the Los Angeles courthouse.
"Britney Spears has been faced with a decade-long nightmare, a Kafkaesque nightmare, orchestrated by her father and others," the lawyer added.
The Judge declared that a certified public accountant, John Zabel, will replace Jamie on a temporary basis. She also ordered control of all of Britney's assets to be turned over to her temporary conservator. Reports also confirmed that the judge's ruling is not appealable.
"Suspension is in the best interests of Britney Spears," Judge Penny told the court. "The current situation is not tenable," she added before stating that "the order is in effect today -- right now."
