Singh (Migration)

This matter concerned a review application made by Mr. Singh in relation to a Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visa, subclass 500. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was required to determine whether it had jurisdiction to hear Mr. Singh's application.

The central legal issue before the Tribunal was whether Mr. Singh's application for review had been lodged within the time prescribed by the relevant migration legislation. The Tribunal had to consider the date on which the application was received to ascertain if it met the statutory time limits for lodging a review application.

The Tribunal found that the application for review was not received until 21 August 2018. As this date was outside the statutory timeframe for lodging such an application, the Tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to consider the merits of Mr. Singh's case. Consequently, the Tribunal determined that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
