KIM (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by KIM concerning a Bridging E (Class WE) visa, Subclass 050. The central dispute revolved around whether KIM's application for review had been lodged within the timeframes prescribed by the relevant legislation.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it possessed jurisdiction to hear and determine KIM's application for review. This question turned on whether the application was made in accordance with the legislative requirements, specifically concerning the timeframe for lodging such an application.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was received on 13 March 2018. Applying the relevant legislative provisions, the Tribunal concluded that this date meant the application was not made in accordance with the law. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal therefore made no order other than to state that it did not have jurisdiction.
