“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Summary: Authority endures only so long as belief sustains it; once withdrawn, law is revealed as theatre.

I. Context

These proceedings have laid bare the essential truth: government authority is not intrinsic power, but a performance that survives only through belief. When parents are conditioned to defer, “concerns” are mistaken for evidence, uniforms for justice, and recycled reports for truth. Withdraw belief, and the costume collapses: what remains is pantomime.

II. Authority as Performance

  • Social workers rely on parents believing “concerns” carry legal force.

  • Courts rely on the assumption that Local Authority reports are credible.

  • Police rely on citizens mistaking uniform for law.

Once belief is withdrawn, the props are exposed: procedure becomes parody, law becomes theatre.

III. Consequences in This Case

Westminster’s conduct demonstrates the collapse of substance:

  1. Reports recycled without evidence.

  2. Restrictions imposed without proportion.

  3. Police interventions conducted as spectacle.

The refusal to credit this theatre with legitimacy strips it of power. Their authority dissolves when belief is denied.

IV. Standards and Violations

  • Bromley’s Family Law (12th ed.) — safeguarding must rest on lawful process and evidence, not performance.

  • Children Act 1989, ss.1 & 22 — welfare paramount, duty to safeguard abandoned.

  • Case Law — Re B-S (2013); Re H (1996); Hunter (1982): evidence, proportionality, and resistance to abuse of process ignored.

  • ECHR — Articles 6, 8, 14 breached; Article 8(2) proportionality test failed.

  • Equality Act 2010, s.20 — adjustments refused, unlawfully.

  • CRPD Articles 7 & 23 — disabled parents and children penalised instead of supported.

Thus Westminster’s authority rests not on law but on the fading currency of belief.

V. SWANK’s Position

It is submitted that authority founded on belief is fragile; once belief is withdrawn, it reveals itself as self-clowning performance.

Filed under Mirror Court Doctrine: “Authority mistaken for law is merely theatre awaiting its curtain call.”
