Summary

An Indonesian mother and her minor son jointly applied for leave to apply for judicial review of the Torture Claims Appeal Board's decision rejecting their non-refoulement claim, relying on the mother's factual basis. The application was filed late, beyond the three-month deadline. Leave for judicial review was refused, and the court treated the non-compliance with Order 80 rule 2 regarding the minor's application as a mere irregularity.
