Al Titi v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 239

Al Titi v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 239

The review application to the Tribunal was lodged one day outside the 21-day prescribed period following deemed electronic receipt of the delegate's decision. Because the Tribunal's jurisdiction was entirely statutory, it had no authority to review the visa refusal, and alleged contrary advice from the Department could not confer jurisdiction. The primary judge made no legal error in dismissing the judicial review application, so the appeal had to be dismissed.

Procedural Posture

Migration Judicial Review Appeal / Appeal From Orders of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia Dismissing an Application for Judicial Review of a Decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the Administrative Appeals Tribunal had statutory jurisdiction to review the delegate's refusal decision when the review application was lodged outside the prescribed period." 'Whether the Federal Circuit Court judge erred in concluding that the Tribunal had no authority to undertake the review.' 'Whether alleged advice that the appellant had 28 days to apply for review could found Tribunal jurisdiction despite late filing.']

Ratio Decidendi

The review application to the Tribunal was lodged one day outside the 21-day prescribed period following deemed electronic receipt of the delegate's decision. Because the Tribunal's jurisdiction was entirely statutory, it had no authority to review the visa refusal, and alleged contrary advice from the Department could not confer jurisdiction. The primary judge made no legal error in dismissing the judicial review application, so the appeal had to be dismissed.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed with costs.
