1727391 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister regarding a protection visa application. The matter came before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

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

The Tribunal reasoned that once a decision has been validly reviewed by the Tribunal, it ceases to be a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal's jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision is extinguished. Applying this principle, the Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the current application for review.

The Tribunal ordered that it does not have jurisdiction in this matter.
