1934876 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision by the Refugee Tribunal. The dispute concerned the timeliness of the applicant's application for review, which the Tribunal found was not made in accordance with the relevant legislation. The decision was made by Senior Member Ann Duffield of the Refugee Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the applicant's review. This question turned on whether the application for review was lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was received on 10 December 2019, which was outside the statutory time limit. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of the application. The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
