Amber Heard has asked a Virginia judge to throw out her losing verdict against Johnny Depp and order a new court case, claiming the judgment wasn't supported by evidence during the trial. Lawyers for the 36-year-old Aquaman star set out a 43-page motion, claiming Depp "proceeded solely on a defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms Heard's statements were actually false". Calling the verdict "excessive", the document went on: "Ms Heard respectfully requests this court to set aside the jury verdict in favour of Mr Depp and against Ms Heard in its entirety, dismiss the complaint, or in the alternative, order a new trial." The court case came to an end on 1 June, with the jury finding that a 2018 article Heard wrote for The Washington Post , about her alleged experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse, was defamatory towards 59-year-old Depp. The jury of five men and two women reached the verdict unanimously, saying Depp had proven all the … [Read more...] about Amber Heard calls for new libel trial against Johnny Depp after losing multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit

Douglas Fraser Published 27 April Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Businesses do not have the householders' protection of an energy price cap, though many have been helped by fixing their prices last autumn, before the surge in prices began. That lasts, for many, until autumn, and now is the time they are finding out how much more they will have to pay. Some, in Glasgow, are rebelling. Some firms can pass on extra costs to customers, including energy suppliers themselves. But for others, they face the daunting task of absorbing costs or losing custom. Barista and businessman Robbie Gray had enough of the soaring electricity bills for the Canary Girl Cafe. "It's like staring into the abyss and not knowing what's coming," he says.

After the U.S. Supreme Court revoked the federal right to an abortion that's been in place for half a century, companies like Amazon, Disney, Apple and JP Morgan pledged to cover travel costs for employees who live in states where the procedure is now illegal so they can terminate pregnancies. But the companies gave scant or no details on how they will do this and it's not clear if they will be able to — legally — while protecting employees' privacy and keeping them safe from prosecution. "Most employers were not prepared for Roe to be overturned, and even those that were didn't realize the law would literally be changed the next minute," said Brian Kropp, a vice president at the consulting firm Gartner. "They're trying to play catch-up." Kropp said many companies announced plans to offer travel benefits without the infrastructure in place to make them work. Some, he added, are creating supplementary policies that employees can buy to cover abortion travel, while others … [Read more...] about Companies covering abortion travel costs for employees could face privacy hurdles

An 18-year-old British tourist could be fined more than £50,000 for allegedly making a ‘false bomb threat’ on board an EasyJet flight to Menorca. A Spanish fighter jet was scrambled to escort the plane when the threat was seen on social media as it approached the island on Sunday afternoon. Footage filmed from inside the cabin shows the jet tipping its wings – telling the EasyJet pilot to ‘follow me’ – while a passenger nervously asks: ‘Why is it doing that?’ After landing, the plane was towed to a special area away from the terminal and other aircraft, local police said. Passengers were then escorted off the plan before bomb disposal experts and sniffer dogs combed through the cabin and confirmed the threat was a hoax. But they weren’t allowed to leave for up to four hours while police figured out who made the threat. A spokesperson for the Spanish Civil Guard said: ‘The Civil Guard has arrested an 18-year-old British national as the alleged author of a crime of … [Read more...] about British teenager ‘could face £50,000 bill for bomb hoax on easyJet flight’
