1900745 (Refugee)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a protection visa. The applicant sought review of a decision, but their application for review was lodged with the Tribunal on 10 January 2019.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review, given the date on which the application was received.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements because it was received by the Tribunal on 10 January 2019. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter. The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction.
