2013943 (Refugee)

The applicant, Tania Flood, sought review of a decision by the Refugee Tribunal. The core of the dispute concerned the timeliness of the applicant's application for review.

The legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the application for review had been made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements, specifically concerning the date of lodgement.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was received on 14 September 2020. As this date was outside the period prescribed by the relevant legislation, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. Consequently, the Tribunal made no order on the merits of the application.
