Johnny Depp has been ordered by a judge to hand over all audio recordings he has of his former wife Amber Heard and also provide information about his medical records ahead of his High Court libel trial.
During a brief judgement hearing held at the Royal Court of Justice in London on Friday morning, Justice Nicol gave the orders, asking the embattled actor to give up audiotapes of Heard which he has after allegedly recording the two of them discussing their problems. He also ordered Johnny to provide details of his medical history
Mr Justice Nicol said: “By not later than 4 pm on March 10, 2020, the claimant [Depp] is to serve a witness statement setting out the steps that have been undertaken by the claimant and those acting on his behalf to obtain medical records and other documentation relevant to the issues in these proceedings from each of the medical professionals from whom the claimant has received medical treatment. In respect of all recordings, whether made digitally or by any other means, which include the voice of Amber Heard, whether or not they also include the voice of the claimant, the claimant by 4 pm on March 10, 2020, will provide a witness statement verified with a statement of truth from him personally listing all of the recordings within his control. The claimant must by 4 pm on March 10, 2020, provide the defendants with a copy of the recordings.”
