Sure, but part of rendering a judgement in the UK trial was determining whether there was truth to the assault allegations and some of the statements in the judgement are pretty categorical in that regard:

x) Overall, I conclude that Mr Depp did assault Ms Heard as she and the Defendants have alleged in Incident 2.

Yes, we're talking about a civil standard, but each allegation was considered separately and the judge found that 12 of the 14 ocurred based on the preponderance of evidence. I think you can argue that for several of them that too much weight is given to Heard's testimony, but there are several incidents in there where the evidence is fairly damning.
