The High Court refused the applicants leave to seek judicial review against multiple statutory bodies and government respondents, finding their application was well outside the permissible time limits. The applicants, representing themselves, sought to challenge decisions related to medical care arising from the birth of the first applicant over twenty years ago. The court highlighted the lengthy and unexplained delay, absence of compelling reasons to extend time, weak underlying claims, and the existence of a litigation restraint order as grounds for refusal. The respondents were deemed entitled to their costs, with a final order on costs to be made after a later hearing.
