The Court exercised its inherent jurisdiction to strike out the appeal for want of prosecution because there had been inordinate and inexcusable delay (about four years) in pursuing an appeal from a public law judgment, the applicants failed to pursue the appeal with reasonable vigour or satisfactorily excuse the delay (including reliance on legal aid and UNHCR processes), and the delay risked detriment to good administration; accordingly the appeal was dismissed and struck out.
