HOLLYWOOD star Johnny Depp's lawyers on Monday (November 2) indicated he would appeal against a UK libel ruling that upheld a tabloid newspaper article that branded him a wife-beater.
Law firm Schillings said the judgement was "as perverse as it is bewildering", arguing a "mountain of counter-evidence" was disregarded that "completely undermined" the claims.
"The judgement is so flawed that it would be ridiculous for Mr Depp not to appeal this decision," said Schillings partner Jenny Afia. – AFP, November 3, 2020
