Appeals, reviews, and other proceedings - Appeal from Tribunal and judicial review

248: Minister, chief executive, or refugee and protection officer may be respondent in review proceedings relating to Tribunal decision

You could also call this:

“Officials can respond to challenges against Tribunal decisions”

If someone wants to challenge a decision made by the Tribunal, they can start a review process. In this review process, the Minister, the chief executive, or a refugee and protection officer can be the person who responds to the challenge. It depends on the situation which one of these people will respond. This means that if you’re reviewing a Tribunal decision, you might be dealing with one of these officials as they defend the decision that was made.
