A judge has ruled Amber Heard's drinking of red wine and claims she altered vaccination certificates to smuggle her dogs into Australia will be used against her in Johnny Depp's libel case against the Sun.
Mr Depp's lawyers asked for the evidence of four additional witnesses - the actor's former partners Vanessa Paradis and Winona Ryder, mechanic David Killackey and Ms Heard's former personal assistant Kate James - to be included in his case against the publisher.
Mr Justice Nicol gave consent for the statements of Ms Paradis and Ms Ryder to be included.
Mr Killackey's evidence would be excluded, and only parts of Ms James's evidence could be admitted.
The judge ruled Ms James's evidence relating to Ms Heard's consumption of red wine, her impression of Mr Depp, and an allegation that Ms Heard provided altered vaccination certificates for the couple's pet dogs, could form part of Mr Depp's case.
He also allowed a claim by Ms James that Ms Heard asked her to help draft a letter to US Homeland Security in 2014, which falsely claimed one of Ms Heard's employees was just a friend, which meant she would not fall foul of regulations.
Mr Depp's lawyer said: 'The Sun attempted to exclude the truth. But in a case about Amber Heard's lies and frauds to get what she wants, we are delighted that we will be able to show Amber Heard's history of lies and frauds to get what she wants.
'Ms Heard's own assistant has testified that Heard lied under oath to a foreign court, defrauded Homeland Security, and she has attempted to suborn the perjury of third parties. It is deja vu all over again in Depp vs The Sun.'
