But documents show the case is now due to be dismissed next year after an agreement was reached two weeks before the start of the US trial.

No further details of the settlement were disclosed.

It comes following 59-year-old Depp’s victory in the defamation case brought against ex-wife Amber Heard last month.

Depp’s lawyers said there is “no legitimate basis” for an appeal by Aquaman actress Heard for a new trial in the multi-million dollar case.

They said the verdict was well-supported by the evidence and the appeal “verges into the frivolous”.
