Johnny Depp v NGN & Wootton Libel Trial

WHAT IT’S ABOUT


The Sun newspaper, owned by NGN, called Johnny Depp a “wife-beater”. He says this is untrue and defamatory. They say it is true. This trial, with Mr Justice Nicol presiding, decided that.

This section is a repository for documentation from the Depp v NGN and Wootton Libel Trial which started at the UK High Court on 7 July 2020.

There are transcriptscourt documents, and witness statements on the Reporting Depp v Heard website

Please note the daily transcripts are “unperfected” which means they may contain slight transcription errors, but in my experience they are more than 99% correct.

I covered the Depp libel trial via live-tweets on Reporting Depp v Heard.
