Sharma (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a decision by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The applicant, Mr. Sharma, sought to have a decision concerning his Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa reviewed.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to consider Mr. Sharma's application for review. This question turned on whether the application had been lodged within the time limit prescribed by the relevant legislation.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was not received until 1 May 2023. As this date was outside the statutory time limit for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter. The Tribunal therefore determined that it could not proceed with the review.
