1608592 (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review before the Tribunal. The applicant sought to have a decision to dismiss their application reconsidered.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the applicant had complied with the procedural requirements for seeking reinstatement of their application after it had been dismissed. Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if the applicant had applied for reinstatement within the prescribed 14-day period.

The Tribunal's reasoning was that the applicant had failed to lodge the application for reinstatement within the stipulated 14-day timeframe. As a consequence of this failure, the Tribunal was bound by the relevant legislative provisions to confirm the original decision to dismiss the application. The Tribunal therefore confirmed the decision to dismiss the application.
