Britney has settled a lawsuit brought against her by former manager Johnny Wright.
As previously reported, Wright, who managed Britney from 1999 to 2003, said he was due royalties from Britney's work until 2008, but hadn't received anything since December 2006. He launched his legal proceedings back in November 2007, and at one point unsuccessfully tried to force Spears to give a deposition - her people successfully argued that, despite being a globally touring pop performer once more, that poor old Britney was still too unstable to do anything like taking part in formal legal proceedings.
An out of court settlement was reached on Friday, the specifics of which are not known, though we do know the court official overseeing Spears' conservatorship, which puts all her affairs in the hands of her father, approved the deal and signed off a second agreement which will see Spears pay Wright's legal fees in relation to the case.
