2107427 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was asked to consider the application for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review, given that the application was lodged out of time.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not received until 7 June 2021. As this date was outside the statutory timeframe for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that the application was not made in accordance with the relevant legislation. Consequently, the Tribunal found it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
