Court of Appeal upholds the High Court's dismissal of an appellant's request for judicial review to quash Circuit and District Court orders related to childcare proceedings. The appellant sought to overturn decisions regarding the care of her youngest child, but the application was rejected as it was filed outside the three-month time limit set by the Rules of the Superior Courts, and no extension was sought. The Court of Appeal found no error in the High Court's judgment, which was based on the appellant's failure to comply with procedural time limits and the lack of a strong substantive case.
