1712214 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a delegate's decision regarding a protection visa application. The Federal Court had previously remitted the matter to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a second review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it retained jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given that it had already been the subject of a prior review by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal determined that once a delegate's decision has been validly reviewed by the Tribunal, it ceases to be a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal no longer possesses jurisdiction to conduct a further review of that same decision.

The Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
