2109004 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister regarding a protection visa application. The matter came before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given that the decision had previously 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 decision ceases to be a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal's jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision is extinguished.

Accordingly, the Tribunal determined that it did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
