1905823 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision by the Minister to refuse to grant a protection visa. The applicant lodged their application for review with the Tribunal on 12 March 2019.

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 time limit. The applicant contended that the delay was due to an honest mistake.

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