Public declaration of amendment to active judicial review claim, citing Westminster’s failure to respond to SWANK Audit SWL/AUD-1, Final Legal Demands, and procedural oversight triggers.
I. What Happened
Despite:
Multiple formal legal notices
A statutory audit demand filed under public interest law
Procedural warnings citing breach of disability law, data access rights, and safeguarding misuse
Westminster Children’s Services did not respond.
There was:
No written acknowledgment
No legal exemption cited
No production timeline for the records demanded
As of 17 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. has amended the existing Judicial Review application to include institutional non-response, procedural default, and obstructive behaviour under audit.
II. What the Amendment Establishes
That Westminster failed to comply with SWL/AUD-1 within the 10-day statutory window
That no lawful exemption was claimed under FOI, DPA, GDPR, or safeguarding carve-outs
That SWANK’s public oversight role was ignored in violation of transparency duties
That ongoing safeguarding interference occurred while records remained concealed
That non-response is now legally recorded as active obstruction of public accountability
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because silence is not neutrality.
It’s strategy.
Because they didn’t say no.
They said nothing — and hoped it would be read as permission.
And because when an institution under audit refuses to acknowledge the audit,
they’re not above scrutiny — they’re beneath response.
This isn’t a delay.
It’s a breach.
And now, it’s in the bundle.

V. SWANK’s Position
The audit was lawful.
The deadline was clear.
The silence was intentional.
And the court will now see all of it.
They didn’t respond to the questions.
So now they’ll respond to the claim.
We warned them.
They refreshed the page.
We filed anyway.
