2303183 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision made by the delegate of the Minister. The dispute concerned whether the Refugee Tribunal retained jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given that the applicant had previously made an application for review which had been decided.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to consider the current application for review. This question turned on whether the delegate's decision, having already been the subject of a prior valid review by the Tribunal, remained a reviewable decision.

The Tribunal reasoned that once a decision has been validly reviewed by the Tribunal, it is no longer a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal's jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision ceases. The Tribunal noted that no response was provided to its invitation to comment. The Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
