1804485 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The respondent was the Tribunal. The dispute centred on whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's application for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation, thereby conferring jurisdiction on the Tribunal.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 20 February 2018. As this date was outside the statutory timeframe for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. The Tribunal therefore determined that it had no jurisdiction in this matter.
