Johnny Depp’s Legal Team Took A Big Step Forward Battling Libel Case Verdict

Although Johnny Depp’s side was able to prove elements of a libel claim in its legal battle with The Sun, the case was ultimately dismissed, with the judge finding that the newspaper’s statements about Depp in one of its stories about his tumultuous relationship with Amber Heard to be “substantially true” after hearing Heard’s testimony. A few weeks later, it was reported that Depp had to pay £628,000 in legal costs to The Sun, which roughly converts to over $840,000. He and his team had until December 7 to file for an appeal, so with the oral hearing forthcoming, we can deduce they filed on time.
