Description:

New accusations/allegations added.

The document has not been made public.

'The principal substantive defence on which the Defendants rely is that of truth as contained in Defamation Act 2013 s.2. The meaning which the Defendants will seek to prove is true is that the Claimant beat his wife Amber Heard causing her to suffer significant injury and on occasion leading her to fearing for her life. This defence was pleaded in the original defence of July 2018, although the number of incidents of violence on which the Defendants relied was then much fewer. The Amended Defence was filed and served on 21st June 2019. This added substantially to the number of incidents on which reliance was placed.'
