The Court of Appeal has declined to extend the time for an appeal against a High Court decision that determined it was in the best interests of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder to remain in Poland with one parent, rather than move to Ireland with the other. The High Court had previously considered the child's need for specialised treatment, which was being adequately provided in Poland, and found no guarantee of equivalent services in Ireland. The Court of Appeal found that the applicant did not present an arguable ground for appeal and emphasised the thoroughness of the High Court's judgment.
