Rika (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a delegate's decision regarding a visitor visa. The applicant, Rika, sought review of this decision.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the delegate's decision was reviewable under Parts 5 or 7 of the relevant Act, and consequently, whether the application for review had been validly lodged.

The Tribunal, constituted by Member Alison Mercer, reasoned that as the delegate's decision was not a reviewable decision under the specified parts of the Act, the application for review was not properly made. This lack of proper lodgement meant the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter.

Accordingly, the Tribunal determined it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
