Britney’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, said it was ‘a vindication for Britney’.
‘We are pleased that Mr. Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed,’ he said. ‘It is vindication for Britney.’
In the court documents, obtained by TMZ, his lawyers write: ‘There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate … and it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ best interests.
‘Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests.’

‘I’m so happy to hear this news,’ the socialite, 40, wrote with emojis of clapping hands and a heart. ‘It’s been so long overdue but I’m so glad that Britney is on her way to finally being free.’

Rosie O’Donnell also took to Instagram to comment on the latest development in the case, sending her well-wishes to the pop star, as she said: ‘That’s right, he’s stepping down, all the pressure worked, good for you Britney, being brave – tick tock you don’t stop!’
Jamie, who has always insisted he was acting in the best interests of his superstar daughter, said that he will work with the legal teams to bring the complex case to an end.
‘So, even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator,’ his lawyers wrote.
Jamie, who is not believed to have spoken to his daughter since before Christmas, said that he will continue to look out for his daughter’s best interests.

‘Regardless of his formal title, Mr. Spears will always be Ms. Spears’ father, he will always love her unconditionally, and he will always look out for her best interests,’ the lawyers said.
‘If the public knew all the facts of Ms. Spears’ personal life, not only her highs but also her lows, all of the addiction and mental health issues that she has struggled with, and all of the challenges of the Conservatorship, they would praise Mr. Spears for the job he has done, not vilify him.’
He said that the arrangement ‘has worked as intended’ and it was not surprising that Britney had felt ‘constrained’.
The lawyers wrote: ‘The Conservatorship has provided Ms. Spears with a structure to help her navigate the daily challenges of her personal life, family matters, medical issues, and career.
‘By nature, the structure includes safeguards to protect the Conservatee from self-harm or harm from others.
‘It is not surprising that Ms. Spears has often felt constrained or subject to excessive supervision.
‘But, at least for the greater part of the past thirteen years, the Conservatorship has worked as intended.’
