1833946 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The application for review was lodged with the Tribunal on 19 November 2018.

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

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislation because it was received after the prescribed period had expired. The Tribunal found that neither the Act nor the Regulations conferred any power to waive or extend this prescribed period. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

The Tribunal made no orders as it determined it did not have jurisdiction.
