Court of Appeal upholds the High Court's decision to dismiss the judicial review proceedings challenging the refusal of a "D" type visa for family reunification, on the grounds that the appellants failed to provide sufficient and satisfactory evidence to demonstrate the validity of their marriage, which was a key condition for the visa application; and despite a procedural flaw regarding the assessment of potential costs to the State, the court found that the decision would have been the same without this consideration, given the other substantive reasons for refusal.
