2008397 (Refugee)

The applicant, Catherine Carney-Orsborn, sought a review of a delegate's decision. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered whether it retained jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given that the delegate's decision had already 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, that delegate's decision is no longer a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it no longer possessed jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision.

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