1727378 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a delegate's decision concerning a protection visa application. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal, constituted by Member Tania Flood, considered whether it had jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review a decision that had already undergone a valid review by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal reasoned that once a delegate's decision has been the subject of a valid review by the Tribunal, that decision ceases to be a "reviewable decision" for the purposes of further review. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain a second review of the same decision.

The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
