Lawyers hoping to overturn a high-profile libel ruling against Jonny Depp looked to cast doubt on testimony given by his ex-wife Amber Heard, as they sought permission to appeal against last year’s UK court decision.
At the centre of the arguments made by lawyers for the Pirates of the Caribbean star was the possibility that Heard, a 34-year-old actor, had not donated her $7 million divorce settlement to charity and this had prejudiced the case against Depp.
Court of Appeal judges said they would present a written ruling on the actor’s appeal in the coming days. Neither Depp nor Heard were at the court.
