1729673 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision by the Refugee Tribunal concerning a protection visa application. The applicant was from Bangladesh. The Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the application.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to review a decision that had already been finalised.

The Tribunal reasoned that as there was no reviewable decision before it, the application for review had not been properly made. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it did not possess jurisdiction to hear the matter. The Tribunal therefore made no order other than to state that it did not have jurisdiction.
