Did Djokovic receive judgments from Australia&#39;s Federal Circuit Court, then Federal Court, more speedily than average?

<p>I am not referring to Djokovic's wealth that lets him afford Australian solicitors and Queen's Counsel barristers. I am asking about the Australian courts' treatment of him. How did the Australian justice system furnish him  &quot;the Cadillac justice he has been receiving&quot;?</p>
<p>For example, was his case heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court, then the Federal Court, more speedily than usual?</p>

<p>Courts do prioritise cases that need urgent resolution, regardless of the parties' nobility or net worth. The process of prioritising is not open to the public though: it is hard to prove that nobility/net worth do <em>not</em> play a role.</p>
<p>In any event, the Djokovic's cases <em>did</em> need urgent resolution for obvious reasons: he had his visa cancelled and was liable for immediate detention and expedited deportation. As to whether anyone else needed justice more urgent than <em>he</em> got it — go figure.</p>
