1813429 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision by the Minister to refuse to grant a protection visa. The review was before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review, given that the application was lodged outside the prescribed time limit.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not received until 9 May 2018. As this date was beyond the time stipulated by the relevant legislation for lodging an application for review, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of the applicant's case.

Consequently, the Tribunal made no order in relation to the merits of the protection visa application, as it had no jurisdiction to do so.
