According to a statement from the media law firm Schillings, an emergency injunction was obtained on Spears's behalf on Thursday afternoon in London's High Court.
The order is intended "to restrain the person or persons, known as 'John Doe,' who has/have been leaking information about Ms Spears's time in a rehabilitation clinic from further disclosures invading her privacy."
The injunction will be served on the British press "to assist them in not making the mistake of carrying such further disclosures if approached by this person or his/her agent."
The law firm also says Spears, 25, plans to "challenge false allegations" already published about her time in rehab, and that it is seeking a legal order to force "certain U.K. media organizations" to reveal the identity of their sources so that "action can be taken against him/her."
Spears completed her stint in rehab this week after checking in to Malibu's Promises on Feb. 20.
