2320917 (Refugee)

The applicant sought a review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The Tribunal had previously heard and affirmed a decision, and the current application for review was deemed not to be of a reviewable decision. The applicant failed to respond to an invitation from the Tribunal to comment on the validity of the application for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review. This question hinged on whether there was a reviewable decision in the first instance, and whether the application for review had been validly made.

The Tribunal reasoned that as there was no reviewable decision, the application for review had not been properly made. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal made no orders other than to state that it did not have jurisdiction.
