Britney Spears' ex-bodyguard is suing her.

In court documents filmed on Monday (18.05.09), Kerry Vine claims he was hurt while working at her former home in Los Angeles in March 2008.

The documents state: "Advanced Security Concepts negligently operated their business thereby causing injuries to Vine who worked for Spears at the time. Spears breached that duty of care to the plaintiff by failing to ensure that he could safely perform duties that Advanced Security Concepts ordered him to perform."

Kerry is suing for personal injury, battery and negligence which he claims caused him to lose wages and incur medical and hospital costs. He also alleges loss of personal property and earning capacity.

A hearing will take place on September 2.

This is the latest legal issue to befall Britney.

Last month, she was granted a restraining order against her former manager Sam Lutfi which banned him from being within 100 yards of her for three years.

Sam is also barred from trying to contact the 27-year-old singer via email, phone or mail.

Lawyer Jon Eardley - who previously questioned why Britney's father Jamie was made co-conservator of her professional and personal affairs last year - is also included in the same restraining order.
