1802840 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was required to determine whether it had jurisdiction to review a previous decision made by the Tribunal on 16 January 2018.

The central legal issue was whether the prior AAT decision, which found the Tribunal had no jurisdiction, constituted a "reviewable decision" under the relevant provisions of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) and the *Migration Regulations 1994* (Cth). Specifically, the Tribunal considered sections 338 and 411 of the Act and regulation 4.02(4) of the Regulations.

The Tribunal reasoned that the previous decision, which determined a lack of jurisdiction, was not a decision that could be reviewed under Parts 5 or 7 of the *Migration Act*. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the current application for review. The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
