A (Children), Re

The appellant failed to provide a sufficient explanation for the excessive delay in filing the appeal. The judge's findings of fact were justified and not open to challenge. The appellant was not without remedy as she could pursue proceedings under Part III of the 1984 Act. There was no real prospect of success on the merits.
