1928240 (Refugee)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a matter concerning a protection visa application. The applicant sought review of a delegate's decision.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given that the decision had previously been the subject of a valid review by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal reasoned that once a delegate's decision has been validly reviewed by the Tribunal, it ceases to be a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal's jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision is extinguished.

Therefore, the Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
