34-year-old Djokovic returned to the hotel in Melbourne on Saturday morning in Australia with asylum seekers in which he had already had to stay for a number of days last week. He remained in detention until the appeal case.
A pre-trial hearing was already held by the federal judge on Saturday morning. Topics of discussion included the question of whether the case would be heard by one judge or a full tribunal of three judges. The lawyers for Immigration Minister Alex Hawke argued for the first option, Djokovic’s lawyers for the second. It is no longer possible to appeal against the decision of a full court. Ultimately, the choice fell on that option.
Djokovic’s visa was revoked because he does not have a valid vaccination certificate and has no good reason for a medical exemption. On the basis of that exemption, he traveled to Melbourne, despite the fact that there is a vaccination requirement.
