On the penultimate day of Johnny Depp's libel trial, the High Court heard closing arguments from the The Sun's lawyers.
Ms Wass told the court it would be"trite" to suggest that a person who remains with a violent partner"cannot be a victim" and said that"the days are long past when the courts in this country required corroboration before accepting the unsupported testimony of a female complainant".
NGN is defending its article as true,"namely that Mr Depp did indeed beat his wife", the barrister told the court.It is relying on 14 allegations made by Heard, who appeared as a witness for the publishers, all of which the actor denies. Ms Wass went through details of the allegations again in court on Monday, including what Heard has described as a"three-day hostage situation" in Australia in 2015, the so-called"Boston plane incident", and her 30th birthday party in April 2016.
Depp claims she has made all the allegations up, accusing his ex-wife of"building a dossier very early on" in their relationship to align herself with the #MeToo movement.
