Azizi (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the application of Mr Azizi for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister regarding a Refugee and Humanitarian (Class XB) visa, specifically a Subclass 201 (In-country Special Humanitarian) visa.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision. This question hinged on whether the decision was one that could be reviewed under Parts 5 or 7 of the relevant Act.

The Tribunal reasoned that if the delegate's decision was not reviewable under the specified parts of the Act, then Mr Azizi's application for review had not been validly made. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. The Tribunal therefore determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
