1814321 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision by the Minister to refuse to grant a protection visa. The application for review was lodged with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) on 17 May 2018.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the application for review, given that it was lodged out of time.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was not received by the Tribunal within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter. The Tribunal made no orders as it had no jurisdiction.
