2414391 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered whether it had jurisdiction to hear the review application, which was lodged after the statutory time limit.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the application for review had been made in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions, specifically concerning the time for lodging such an application.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was not received until 30 May 2024. As this date fell outside the prescribed timeframe for making an application for review, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter. The Tribunal therefore determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
