Britney Spears’ father, Jamie, has been ordered by a Los Angeles court to appear for a deposition before August 12.
The 70-year-old has also been instructed to submit all surveillance records of the pop diva.
Britney’s legal team, led by Mathew Rosengart, alleged that Jamie had intruded on Britney’s privacy using illegal surveillance methods.
Jamie’s lawyer Alex Weingarten argued that Britney should also be deposed.
Rosengart countered that such a move would only “re-traumatize” Britney.
“You don’t sit down a victim for a deposition to be deposed by the victimizer,” he said.
The judge adjourned the hearing till July 27 and asked the lawyers to submit a brief that will decide whether Britney gets deposed.
Last month, Britney tied the knot with her long-term beau Sam Asghari.
