The 1st applicant's leave was dismissed because she failed to identify arguable grounds and the Board's decision as to her was not shown to be legally flawed; the 2nd applicant's leave was granted because the Board failed to consider the child's claim separately and in a manner consistent with authorities on unrepresented minors, creating a reasonably arguable case of procedural unfairness requiring further review and representation, and the court directed procedural steps including amendment of Form 86 and filing of an originating summons within 14 days.
