Britney Spears set to appear in LA court in latest bid to be free of father Jaime’s conservatorship

Britney Spears is set to personally address a court dealing with her controversial conservatorship, as she continues her battle to remove her father as her conservator, with the power to control her affairs.

The address is expected to be the first time the 39-year-old pop star has spoken publicly about the legal arrangements put in place more than a decade ago. 

Spears’s lawyer, Samuel Ingham, said his client had asked to speak to the court but didn’t specify what matters she wanted to raise.

“My client has requested a hearing at which she can address the court directly,” Mr Ingham said in court on Tuesday.
