Beschreibung:

This Hearing was conducted via Skype and it appears that the media and other interested parties could log in and follow the the proceedings. A UK Journalist who was not involved with any party or witness in the case did just this - Mr John Brace. With his wife acting as co-editor Mr Brace then published an unofficial version of the MINUTES OF THE HEARING on his website which has more detail and transcription than any media article. 28 of the 54 pages are shown here with the full document available via the links provided.

SUMMARY:

NGN’s lawyers said Mr Depp’s claim should be struck out, claiming he deliberately withheld text messages they say show him trying to obtain “MDMA and other narcotics” while in Australia in 2015.

NGN’s barrister, Adam Wolanski QC, told the court that his client had recently obtained a series of text messages between Mr Depp and his assistant Nathan Holmes from Ms Heard’s American lawyers.

Mr Wolanski said: “The Australia drugs texts, on the face of it, demonstrate that the claimant was at the very least seeking to obtain such drugs from Mr Holmes in late February and early March 2015, and in all probability had obtained and taken them.”

He argued that “the failure to disclose them in this case is a clear breach” of a previous court order requiring Mr Depp to provide all documents from separate libel proceedings against Ms Heard in the US.
