The judge who dismissed Mr Depp's claim this month said an appeal did not have a "reasonable prospect of success".

But he gave him until 7 December to apply directly to the Court of Appeal.

Mr Justice Nicol's ruling on the application to overturn his judgement came last week - and was made public on Wednesday.

He also ordered the actor to make an initial payment to NGN of almost £630,000 for its legal fees.

Let's see. Even if this is not the best time for Johnny, don't stop supporting him, don't give up, he needs us!
