1905 Film News According to foreign media reports, Johnny Depp and his team of lawyers filed a verdict that the British High Court ruled that the “Sun” calling Johnny Depp a “wife beater” was not defamatory early last month. Appeal, and just earlier, the Court of Appeal rejected Depp’s request to appeal the decision of High Court Judge Andrew Nicole. Appellate judges James Dingmans and Richard Arnold stated: “(Nicole)’s previous hearings were adequate and fair. The judge gave sufficient reasons for reaching a conclusion. There was no methodological error in the process. Or a legal error.”
Previously, High Court Judge Andrew Nicole determined that Depp had committed violence against Hilde at least 12 times, and therefore dismissed Depp’s case. Depp immediately sought permission to appeal the ruling and claimed that Nicole failed to properly evaluate the evidence and requested a full retrial.
Depp provided evidence of Hilder's fraudulent donation in the first instance, which they claimed undermined Hilder's credibility as a witness. Depp’s attorney Andrew Cadcot said that Hilde told a “calculated lie” that he would donate her $7 million divorce agreement to charity, saying that the money had not been paid. Cadcot said: "If the truth about charity claims emerges in the trial, it will seriously affect the judge's overall consideration of Ms. Hilde's evidence." The newspaper lawyer of News Corp., the publisher of the Sun, said the evidence. It may have been submitted in the original trial and will not affect the outcome of the case. “Given that there is sufficient evidence, it is implied that Ms. Hilder has not yet completed the payment of 7 million US dollars to the charity, which will not affect the outcome of the case. The slightest impact." They claim that Hilde plans to donate the money within 10 years.
In addition, Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard for defamation. The trial will be held in Virginia, USA on April 11, 2022 and is expected to last 16 working days.
