Sam Won't Open the Door, Continues to Violate Restraining Order
Here are the headlines from today's court hearing:
Brit's estate is worth $40 million. Last year, Brit was said to be worth $100 million. Hey, Starbucks and Rite Aid aren't cheap.
Jamie Spears is still the co-conservator of Britney's estate, though Brit's lawyers tried to have him removed.
The Commissioner did not give Britney's dad the power to fire Trope and Trope, Brit's divorce lawyers.
The Commissioner said, based on the restraining order, Sam Lutfi can have no contact whatsoever with Britney -- including e-mails, phone contact, etc, yet it is a fact that Sam has violated this order, speaking to Britney this weekend on the phone.
The Commish extended the conservatorship to Valentine's Day.
There will be a hearing at some point to determine just how mentally competent Britney is.
In court just a few minutes ago, a lawyer for the conservators said they have been trying to serve Sam Lutfi with a restraining order prohibiting him from seeing Brit, but he has refused to open the door to accept service.
In court today, a court-appointed lawyer told the Commissioner he visited Britney yesterday just after 5:00 PM PT in the hospital. He concluded that Brit is not currently competent enough to understand the nature of the current legal proceedings, nor does she appreciate the impact that it has on her life.
