Court of Appeal refuses an application by a married couple to extend the time for appealing a High Court decision that dismissed their case as an abuse of process. The original High Court judgment found no credible basis for the couple's claims against the Department of Justice, including allegations of medical mistreatment and interference with their family's residency documents. The Court of Appeal upheld the decision, finding no arguable grounds for appeal and noting that the applicants failed to meet the criteria for an extension of time to appeal.
