"It was a monumental day for Britney Spears," the pop star`s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, said outside the courthouse. He thanked the #FreeBritney movement which, he said, had been essential to ending the legal arrangement.
The conservatorship is fully terminated, but accountant John Zabel, who replaced Spears’ father Jamie following his suspension, will have “limited and administrative power” as part of the termination plan, as per Variety.
