Being a Role-Model of the (Tennis) Court and the (Supreme) Court

In Djokovic v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCAFC 3, the Federal Court upheld the Minister's decision to cancel Djokovic's visa. The Minister claimed that Djokovic is a "role-model" in sport and the wider community and could influence others to have similar disregard for COVID-19 precautionary requirements in Australia.

This session covers: 

• the Djokovic case and the concept of being held to a higher standard of care when you are a "role-model";
• the test of good fame and character; and  
• the type of misconduct that occurs outside of legal practice which can result in disciplinary action.
