Alodia International Pty Ltd (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Alodia International Pty Ltd concerning a business sponsorship matter. The core of the dispute revolved around the timeliness of Alodia International's application for review.

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

The Tribunal, constituted by Member Bridget Cullen, determined that the application for review was not received by the Tribunal until 5 April 2018. As this date fell outside the statutory timeframe for lodging such applications, the Tribunal concluded that the application had not been made in accordance with the relevant legislation. Consequently, the Tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of the matter.

The Tribunal therefore made no orders on the substance of the review application, as it had no jurisdiction to proceed.
