High Court refuses a father's application for leave to apply for judicial review regarding the custody and access arrangements of his child, who is currently in foster care, finding that there are no grounds to interfere with the Circuit Court's order or to suggest judicial misconduct; and the court advises the father that the District Court and the Circuit Court are the appropriate forums for such matters, and highlighting the availability of alternative remedies under statute for revising access arrangements.
