The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a matter concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The applicant sought review of a decision, but the AAT found that the delegate's decision had previously been validly reviewed by the Tribunal.

The central legal issue before the AAT was whether it possessed jurisdiction to review the delegate's decision, given its prior finalisation through a valid review process.

The AAT reasoned that once a decision has been the subject of a valid review by the Tribunal, it ceases to be a reviewable decision. Consequently, the Tribunal's jurisdiction in relation to that specific decision is extinguished. The Member concluded that the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction in the present matter.
