The Aquaman star's legal team have claimed the verdict was not supported by the evidence presented during the six-week trial.
Although Heard’s article did not mention Depp by name, his lawyers alleged that it falsely implied he had physically and sexually abused her during their relationship.
In documents seen by the PA news agency, Heard’s lawyers say that the decision returned by the jury last month was not supported by the evidence presented during the six-week trial.“The verdict is excessive as a matter of law in light of the evidence and law, and should be set aside,” the documents stated.
