1725364 (Refugee)

The applicant, a refugee, sought judicial review of a decision made by a delegate. The dispute concerned the jurisdiction of the Tribunal to hear the applicant's application for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed the jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision. This question hinged on whether the delegate's decision was subject to review under Parts 5 or 7 of the relevant Act.

The Tribunal reasoned that as the delegate's decision was not reviewable under the specified parts of the Act, the application for review had not been properly made. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter. The Tribunal made no orders as its jurisdiction was found to be absent.
