Britney Spears has one less legal scuffle to come home to.
Attorneys for the touring pop tart have settled a lawsuit brought by a manager Spears worked with in the early aughts who complained that she broke her agreement to pay him commissions until 2008.
The "Toxic" singer worked with Johnny Wright until 2003, according to the suit, and she stopped cutting him checks at the end of 2006.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, per the Los Angeles Times.
Also in court today, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz, who has been overseeing Spears' conservatorship and approving money exchanges right and left, signed off on another $193,000 in legal fees to be paid by Spears' estate mainly to the attorneys who handled this case.
Meanwhile, Spears had the night off Friday in between shows at London's O2 Arena, where she's set to perform eight times before moving the Circus to Manchester's M.E.N. Arena on June 17.
