Bhullar (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review concerning a Temporary Business Entry (Class UC) visa, subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled)). The applicant, Mr. Bhullar, sought review of a decision related to his visa.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to hear Mr. Bhullar's application for review, given that the application was lodged out of time. The Tribunal was required to determine if the application had been made in accordance with the relevant legislative requirements for lodging a review application.

The Tribunal, constituted by Member Mary Sheargold, found that the application for review was received by the Tribunal on 25 April 2018. As this date was beyond the prescribed time limit for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the merits of Mr. Bhullar's case. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
