1733096 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation, which would determine the Tribunal's jurisdiction.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 28 December 2017. As this date was outside the statutory time limit for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the review. The Tribunal therefore did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
