2416207 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning their application for a protection visa. The dispute arose because the application for review was lodged with the Tribunal after the prescribed time limit. The decision was made by Member Noelle Hossen of the Tribunal.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to consider the application for review, given that it was not received within the timeframe stipulated by the relevant legislation.

Member Hossen reasoned that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements because it was received by the Tribunal on 8 June 2024, which was outside the statutory period. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

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