Low (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered an application for review by Mr. Low concerning a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The core of the dispute was whether the AAT possessed jurisdiction to hear Mr. Low's application.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether there had been a "Tribunal-reviewable decision" made in relation to Mr. Low's visa application. This question was central to determining whether the AAT had the authority to entertain the review application.

Member Stephen Witts reasoned that if no reviewable decision had been made, then any subsequent application for review could not have been properly made. Consequently, the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter. The Tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction in this instance.
