Extension of time was refused and leave dismissed because the Board's factual findings—low intensity/frequency of past ill-treatment, availability of state protection and viable internal relocation—were not shown to be legally tainted; the 2nd applicant's claim depended on the 1st applicant and no child-specific grounds were advanced; non-representation of the minor was treated as a procedural irregularity but did not establish a realistic prospect of success to justify extending time or granting leave.
