1931287 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The respondent was the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The matter came before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the applicant's claim, given that no reviewable decision had been made.

The Tribunal, constituted by Wendy Banfield, Member, reasoned that the absence of a reviewable decision meant the application for review was not properly made. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter.

The Tribunal ordered that it does not have jurisdiction in this matter.
