1810625 (Refugee)

The applicant, a refugee, sought judicial review of a decision made by the Refugee Review Tribunal. The core of the dispute concerned the Tribunal's jurisdiction to hear the applicant's repeated review application, which the applicant contended was a non-reviewable decision.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Refugee Review Tribunal possessed jurisdiction to consider the applicant's repeated review application. This question hinged on whether a reviewable decision had been made at the time the application for review was lodged.

The Tribunal determined that no reviewable decision had been made when the applicant lodged their review application. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the application was not properly made and that it therefore lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. The Tribunal's decision was that it did not have jurisdiction.
