2423017 (Refugee)

The applicant sought review of a decision concerning a protection visa, with the matter coming before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The core of the dispute revolved around the timeliness of the applicant's application for review.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review, specifically considering whether the application was lodged in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 15 July 2024, which meant it was not made in accordance with the relevant legislation. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the matter. The Tribunal therefore made no order in relation to the merits of the protection visa application.
