2005176 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa for Lebanon. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 16 March 2020, which was outside the statutory time limit. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of the applicant's case. The Tribunal made no order as to costs.
