2015447 (Refugee)

The applicant, a citizen of China, sought review of a decision by the Refugee Tribunal. The application for review was lodged with the Tribunal on 18 October 2020.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's review application, given that it was received by the Tribunal on 18 October 2020.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions because it was received by the Tribunal on 18 October 2020. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

The Tribunal made no orders other than to state that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
