The case turned on whether the border officials acted reasonably and fairly... The evidence before Judge Kelly was that Djokovic.was treated shabbily.
Judge Kelly said he had read the transcript of the interactions
Mr Djokovic is quite candid, Judge Kelly reflected. He says ‘look, if I have got these facts wrong I am sorry I am mistaken about it, but I understand I have given you everything you want and in effect, I wouldn t have even come here unless I had.
Having given Djokovic until 8.30am to rest and seek advice before continuing the interview, the border officials woke the tennis player two hours earlier and tried to convince him it was in his best interests to continue the interview without having spoken to anyone.
It is not a case of time being denied, the judge said. It is in fact, objectively, broadly, an agreement to give time which is then reneged upon.
It has the quality of this ex post facto view. We have these people saying look, getting in touch with your lawyers is really not going to help any of this so why don t we just get it done?
This was the point that broke the government s case.
Ex post facto is sharp language for any judge. Within the Latin lies a thinly veiled suggestion that Djokovic was stitched up.

Subsequently:
Djokovic has stated that he did an interview with L’Equipe journalist knowing he was positive for Covid. Also entry forms for Australia were incorrect. They stated he had not traveled prior to Australia. Actually he had visited Spain.
