2405428 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The application for review was lodged with the Tribunal on 19 March 2024.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear the application for review, given that it was lodged outside the prescribed time limit.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions because it was received after the statutory deadline. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of the application.

The Tribunal made no orders as to costs.
