1803719 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision made by the Minister's delegate concerning a protection visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the matter.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review. This question arose because the application for review was not lodged within the prescribed 28-day period.

The Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the application. This conclusion was based on the fact that the application was made outside the statutory time limit for lodging such reviews. The Tribunal noted that a previous application for review concerning the same delegate's decision had already been determined by the Tribunal on 7 March 2018.

The Tribunal made no orders as it found it did not have jurisdiction to proceed with the substantive review.
