Advantage-wise, this gives Britney's team a huge one.
Since the judge ordered a deposition, there is reason to further inquire about the allegations thrown at Jamie for hiring a security team to keep tabs on her daughter during her grueling conservatorship.
Aside from hiring a security firm, Britney Spears' also alleged that her father had been monitoring her phone and bugged her bedroom to record her own private conversations and affairs.
Before the huge victory on Britney's team - Jamie's head attorney, Alex Weingarten, implored Judge Penny to grant access his team access to the opposing team's documents to prepare for their deposition.
Weingarten and Rosengart, Britney's head lawyer, embarked on a heated argument at the Los Angeles Superior Courthouse recently before Judge Penny ruled the decision, Variety learned.
Britney Spears has been in a long-standing legal battle with her now-estranged father, Jamie Spears since the termination of her conservatorship last year, which she believed to have been carefully thought out by his father to milk her financially.
