Mutambiranwa (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a matter concerning the cancellation of a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, Subclass 500. The applicant, Mutambiranwa, sought review of this cancellation decision.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider the applicant's review application. This question arose because the application for review was lodged out of time, and the prescribed fee had not been paid.

The Tribunal determined that it lacked jurisdiction. It reasoned that the application for review was not valid due to the failure to pay the applicable fee. The Tribunal noted that no determination had been made, nor had a request been made, for the fee to be reduced. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that it could not proceed with the review.

The Tribunal ordered that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
