2010928 (Refugee)

The applicant sought a protection visa. The delegate of the Minister had previously made a decision in relation to the applicant's claim for a protection visa. The applicant then sought to have this previous decision reviewed by the Tribunal.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision. This question arose because the delegate's decision had already been the subject of a valid review by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal reasoned that once a decision has been validly reviewed by the Tribunal, it is no longer a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal loses jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision.

Therefore, the Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
