GOGIKAR (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Mr. Gogikar concerning a Regional Employer Nomination (Permanent) visa (Subclass 187). The dispute centred on whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear Mr. Gogikar's application for review.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Mr. Gogikar's application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant legislation. This question was determinative of whether the Tribunal possessed the necessary jurisdiction to proceed with the review.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was not received until 20 September 2018. As this date fell outside the statutory time limit for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to consider the matter. The Tribunal therefore determined that it lacked the authority to hear Mr. Gogikar's application.
