2419920 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa. The dispute arose because the application for review was lodged with the Tribunal after the statutory time limit had expired. The decision was made by Xanthe Emery, a Member of the Tribunal.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's review application, given that it was received out of time.

The Tribunal determined that the application for review was not made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements because it was received by the Tribunal on 26 June 2024, which was after the prescribed time for lodging such an application. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction in the matter. The Tribunal made no orders as it found it had no jurisdiction.
