Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicants failed to demonstrate a realistic prospect of success: the Board's factual findings (no targeted threats, state protection available, internal relocation viable) were supported by evidence and country information; the Board afforded appropriate consideration to the children despite lack of legal representation; and procedural non-compliance with Order 80 r 2 is a mere irregularity and does not invalidate the minors' applications.
