2005562 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa application, having lodged the review application with the Tribunal on 19 March 2020. The respondent was the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's review application, given that it was lodged outside the prescribed time limits.

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