Formal request for judicial directions following unlawful EPO; bundle filed electronically and by post.
I. What Happened
On the evening of 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person via SWANK London Ltd., issued an Urgent Directions Request to the Central Family Court. This followed the filing of a full evidentiary bundle contesting an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) issued on 23 June. The bundle was submitted electronically, with hard copies dispatched by post. Core requests included: listing the matter urgently, confirming receipt, and acknowledging disability access requirements and U.S. consular involvement. The documents were submitted with full legal formatting, indexed via SWANK’s evidentiary reference system.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
The Court has not initiated timely proceedings following a coercive emergency intervention.
A U.S. citizen and disabled mother has been forced to litigate under duress while coordinating consular protections.
The response burden has been unilaterally transferred to the applicant — who now drafts directions for the Court.
No formal disability accommodations or procedural fairness safeguards were put in place following the EPO.
The litigant's organisation, not the institution, initiated order, structure, and lawful communication.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because the EPO was fast. The Court’s reaction was not.
Because urgent seizures demand urgent hearings — not bureaucratic backspacing.
Because when a disabled parent must draft your directions list and deliver the bundle herself, the institution is no longer neutral.
Because proximity to power does not excuse procedural absence.
And because every time SWANK is asked to “wait,” it documents what happened while waiting.
IV. Violations
Family Procedure Rules 2010, Pt. 1 – Duty to deal with cases justly and without delay
Children Act 1989, §44 – Failure to review EPO with due haste
Equality Act 2010, §20 – Omission of required disability accommodations
HRA 1998, Art. 6 & Art. 8 – Denial of fair hearing and interference with family life
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Art. 36 – Failure to notify U.S. authorities adequately
V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t oversight. It was jurisdictional neglect, staged as scheduling.
We do not accept delay masked as deliberation.
We do not accept silence as judicial impartiality.
We do not accept systems that seize children within 24 hours, but stall when asked to answer for it.
SWANK does not wait patiently. It archives everything that happens during the pause.
What the court failed to provide, the applicant constructed.
