LATEST: Novak Djokovic wins his Federal Circuit Court case

Novak Djokovic has won his court case in the Federal Circuit Court, paving the way for the tennis great to play in the Australian Open.

The government’s decision to cancel Novak Djokovic’s visa has been overturned.

He must be released immediately from immigration detention.

Judge Anthony Kelly says the tennis champion is allowed to stay in Australia and have his passport returned to him.

The government must also pay Djokovic’s legal costs.

The Immigration Minister may yet exercise personal discretion to cancel the visa, which would mean Djokovic would be unable to return to Australia for three years.

Tom Percy QC, who was initially sought out to help Djokovic with his case, spoke with 3AW Drive moments after the verdict was handed down.
