Will the organizer of the Australian Open pay the court costs instead of Djokovic?
The Tennis Federation of Australia which is the organizer of the first annual Grand Slam tournament, will pay the court costs for the lawsuit that Novak ковиokovi. lost from the state, writes the Daily Mail Australia.
The Djokovic saga ended with the Serbian tennis player having to leave Australia even though he had previously been granted a medical exemption from vaccination. However, after his landing in Melbourne, the border police revoked his visa and placed him in a hotel for migrants, to which the tennis player filed a complaint. The court upheld his appeal and returned his visa, with Immigration Minister Alex Hawke exercising his discretion and revoking his visa.
This time ковиokovi и and his lawyers lost the lawsuit in the Australian federal court and the tennis player had to leave the country.
The court also ordered Djokovic to pay half a million dollars in court costs.
But these costs will be paid by the organizer of the Australian Open.
- The most important thing that people do not know is that the Tennis Federation of Australia will pay these costs, not Novak. And because the state is giving money to the Tennis Federation to host the Australian Open, it means that in the end the costs of the lawsuit will be paid by the taxpayers in Australia, ie the citizens - said an anonymous source for the Daily Mail Australia
