2200337 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa for entry into Thailand. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was asked to consider the delegate's decision.

The central 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.

Member C. Packer reasoned that once a delegate's decision has undergone a valid review by the Tribunal, it ceases to be a "reviewable decision" for the purposes of further review. Consequently, the Tribunal's jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision is extinguished.

The Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
