1827009 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision by the Minister to refuse to grant a protection visa. The applicant's application for review was lodged with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal on 14 September 2018.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's application for review, given the date it was lodged.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements concerning the time for lodging such applications. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter.

The Tribunal made no order other than to state that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
