A libel trial was due to begin on Tuesday between Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and a British tabloid newspaper over claims that he was violent to his former wife, Amber Heard.
Depp, 57, is suing News Group Newspapers , publisher of The Sun, and its executive editor Dan Wootton for an April 2018 article which referred to him as a "wife beater".The case, which was delayed because of the coronavirus outbreak, will be heard over 15 days at the High Court in London.
As well as Depp and Heard, his former partners Vanessa Paradis, the French singer, and the actress Winona Ryder are due to give evidence. Nicol, who will rule on the case, agreed he was in breach but decided the trial should go ahead nonetheless.
