Following a high-profile lawsuit between actor Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp was awarded $ 10.35 million in restitution. Heard’s lawyers have now found a mistake in the way the case was conducted, and demand that the decision be set aside: They demand that the case be tried again. You cany.
Not appointed to the jury
Heard has protested because one of the jury members was never summoned. Depp’s lawyers do not disagree that the right person was not summoned. Nevertheless, they argue that Heard has not suffered any damage due to the confusion:
– The trial has not been compromised in such a way that it justifies her drastic proposal to “set aside the decision and have a new trial”, Depp’s lawyers wrote according to Variety.
Furthermore, they believe that Heard has lost the right to protest against this now – she should have done so earlier.
Heard have tried before
Heard’s lawyers are constantly finding new reasons why the verdict must be set aside. Although Heard also won a victory in court, where she too was awarded two million dollars for defamation.
But she wants the ruling overturned. Previously, her lawyers have asked for a new case because they claim that Depp has used unreasonable arguments in court, and accused her of violence in the relationship, even though Depp has signed off on the right to raise this in the divorce settlement. They have also had several inputs with the same goal.
Agreed
This month, Johnny Depp should actually have appeared in court again. The reason was an accusation that he beat a set leader on the project “City of Lies” in 2018. Depp was included according to Entertainment Tonight settlement with the man, and now Depp does not have to appear in another trial.
It will be seen if Heard manages to get the case against the ex-husband resumed. The lawyers have tried a number of possible ways already.
