1834417 (Refugee)

The applicant, a refugee, sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The application for review was lodged with the Tribunal on 22 November 2018. The respondent was the Minister for Home Affairs.

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

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions because it was received by the Tribunal after the prescribed time limit. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

The Tribunal made no orders as to costs and determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
