1802819 (Refugee)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a matter concerning a protection visa application. The applicant sought review of a delegate's decision, but the Tribunal found that this decision had previously been reviewed.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it retained jurisdiction to review a delegate's decision that had already undergone a valid review by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal reasoned that once a decision has been the subject of a valid review by the Tribunal, it is no longer a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter further. The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction.
