1814068 (Refugee)

The applicant, a citizen of China, sought review of a decision by the Refugee Tribunal. The dispute concerned the timeliness of the applicant's application for review, which the Tribunal found was lodged out of time. The decision was made by Member Luke Hardy of the Refugee Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's application for review, given that it was not received within the timeframe prescribed by the relevant legislation.

Member Luke Hardy determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements because it was received by the Tribunal on 15 May 2018, after the statutory deadline. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

The Tribunal ordered that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
