“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: Official Government Gazette publication of the Emergency Powers (COVID-19) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (No. 18 of 2020) — the law solemnly ignored by the very officers charged with enforcing it.

I. What Happened

• On 15 September 2020, the Turks & Caicos Governor issued Regulation 18 of 2020, granting himself sweeping powers to control human proximity in the name of “public health.”
• The statute, a masterclass in colonial grammar, criminalised unlawful entry, mandated six-foot distancing, and sanctioned maskless trespass with penalties so precise they could be measured in inches.
• Weeks later, officials from the Department of Social Development — citing this very regulation — entered Polly Chromatic’s home unmasked, uninvited, and undisturbed by their own legislation.
• The Government Gazette therefore became Exhibit A in the jurisprudence of hypocrisy: law as ornament, compliance as a photo op.

II. What the Document Establishes

• The primary legal instrument governing COVID-19 conduct in the TCI.
• A written standard of behaviour breached first by its authors.
• Evidence that public health law was treated as ceremonial rather than functional.
• The statutory spine underpinning later complaints of unlawful entry and disability-risk exposure.
• Proof that “emergency powers” translate as “rules for others.”

III. Why SWANK Logged It

• Because every good case needs its scripture — and this was the scripture they forgot to read.
• Because jurisdiction requires a text, and this is the text they proved optional.
• Because evidence of governance is never as telling as evidence of its disobedience.
• Because pandemic law was less about distance than about deference.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Emergency Powers (COVID-19) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (No. 18 of 2020) — breached Regulations 7 and 9 (governmental entry restrictions and mask mandates).
• Public and Environmental Health Ordinance (2009 Revised) — failure to protect public safety in official capacity.
• UN CRPD Art. 11 — protection in emergencies for persons with disabilities.
• ECHR Art. 8 — interference with private life without lawful basis.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “public health.”
This is performative containment with colonial undertones.

• We do not accept that regulation exists only for citizens.
• We reject the theatre of authority in latex-free gloves.
• We archive every statute that looked majestic in print and miserable in practice.
