Sažetak
In this text, the authors try to present the case known as the Djokovic case, probably
the biggest legal scandal in recent times, a scandal that ended with the deportation of the
world’s best tennis player Novak Djokovic from Australia, where he came (unvaccinated)
to win the Australian Open for the tenth time and to became the first tennis player in
history with 21 Grand slam titles (and who knows how many more in the future). The
Australian entry visa was annulled twice, the first annulment was “repaired” by a court
ruling that the annulment was illegal, the second annulment (recognized as a minister’s
discretion) was also tried to be “repaired” by a court, this time without success but with
the claim that such (discretionary) powers only check whether a decision made by the
Australian Minister of Immigration is “irrational or legally unreasonable”. The conclusion
is that the deportation was not illegal, but the modus operandi of the state authorities
(regardless of the level) is a real legal catastrophe, as a result of which Novak Djokovic
was certainly exposed to completely unnecessary harassment and treatment as if he had
committed one of the most serious crimes.
