“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.

PC-77490: When the Government Schedules a Hearing and Forgets to Attend Its Own Scandal

⟡ Addendum: On the Supervision Order That Supervised Absolutely Nothing ⟡

Summary: A correspondence chain that might have been tragic if it weren’t so exquisitely stupid: the Turks and Caicos Government convenes a Microsoft Teams hearing and then neglects to show up.

I. What Happened

On 23 November 2020, the Turks and Caicos Department of Social Development summoned the legal cosmos for yet another Supervision Order Hearing — a bureaucratic séance held over Microsoft Teams.

At precisely 2:19 p.m., government counsel sent out a meeting link for a 2:30 p.m. hearing — an 11-minute window between notice and nonsense.
When counsel for the mother, Mark Fulford of F. Chambers, joined the meeting, there was no one there.
No judge, no clerk, no social workers — just the echo of procedural incompetence.

Fulford’s email, the only adult voice in the room, is a masterpiece of dry composure:

“We received the link to the hearing about 10 minutes before 2:30. We had no notice prior to receipt of the link that the matter would be for hearing today... When we accessed the link at 2:30pm no one was present.”

It is bureaucratic nihilism distilled — a hearing that neither heard nor occurred.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That the Department of Social Development has perfected procedural ghosting.
• That government hearings now qualify as performance art: scheduled, unattended, and meaningless.
• That colonial administration can be both authoritarian and absent-minded at once.
• That “urgency” and “oversight” are mutually exclusive concepts.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because there must exist a permanent record of this administrative vaudeville.
Because silence, when performed by government, is still misconduct — just quieter.
Because this is the jurisprudence of farce: authority that forgets its own performance.

SWANK archived it not as law, but as anthropology — proof that governance in the archipelago has devolved into a spectator sport for the legally literate.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Care and Protection Ordinance (2015) — misunderstood, misapplied, mislaid.
• Judicial Conduct Principles — apparently decorative.
• Constitution of the Turks and Caicos Islands — violated between Outlook reminders.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 6 — “fair hearing” redefined as no hearing at all.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “justice.”
This is administrative pantomime with broadband issues.

We do not accept bureaucracy without attendance.
We reject the illusion of governance conducted by absentee officials.
We will continue to document every procedural farce until accountability learns how to log in.

Because evidence deserves elegance.
