“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.

Chromatic v The Shadow Plan – On the Legal Absurdity of Being Punished for Failing to Obey a Document You’ve Never Seen



“You Can’t Claim Noncompliance With a Care Plan That Doesn’t Exist”

⟡ A Legal Letter That Defines the Word “Preposterous” Without Ever Using It

IN THE MATTER OF: A fabricated Care Plan, unlawful safeguarding escalation, and a mother who had to hire a lawyer just to get a reply


⟡ METADATA

Filed: 1 October 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-FCHAMBERS-LEGALRESPONSE
Court File Name: 2020-10-01_LegalResponse_FChambers_SafeguardingDisclosureRequest
Summary: This preliminary legal response, authored by Managing Partner Mark Fulford of F Chambers, formally challenges the safeguarding fiction imposed upon Polly Chromatic. It exposes the Department of Social Development’s procedural delinquency, rejects the accusation of “noncompliance,” and demands full disclosure of all reports, communications, and medical records allegedly justifying the three-year ordeal. In tone, it is both judicial and surgical.


I. What Happened

  • Polly was accused of “noncompliance” with a Care Plan she had never seen.

  • The Department had failed to issue a single report, summary, or allegation for over three years.

  • Forced medical examinations were conducted without documented justification or lawful basis.

  • After years of silence, the Department finally replied — only after Polly engaged lawyers.

  • F Chambers responded with formal representation and five core legal demands:

    1. Disclosure of all reports since the case began

    2. Medical reports from all forced child examinations

    3. A copy of the alleged August 2019 Care Plan

    4. A full factual basis for the Department’s letter dated 11 September 2020

    5. Agreement that no further meeting can occur without procedural transparency


II. What the Letter Establishes

  • That procedural “noncompliance” is meaningless without prior notice or documentation

  • That transparency is not optional — it is constitutionally required

  • That safeguarding oversight cannot become a three-year fishing expedition

  • That Polly complied repeatedly — even when instructions were arbitrary or contradictory

  • That institutional silence cannot become retroactive justification for intrusive authority


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this letter is what judicial tone looks like when wielded by actual legal counsel. Because accusing someone of “noncompliance” without showing them a plan is gaslighting — not governance. Because no family should suffer institutional surveillance without knowing what they are being accused of. And because after three years of fictional safeguarding, this letter finally introduces a non-fiction genre: law.


IV. Violations

  • Fabrication and retroactive invocation of a Care Plan

  • Procedural breach of natural justice and due process

  • Failure to provide access to statutory records

  • Repeated interference without threshold

  • Forced medical interventions without disclosure or justification

  • Withholding of documentation needed for legal defence


V. SWANK’s Position

We log this letter as Exhibit G in the collapse of fictional safeguarding authority. SWANK London Ltd. affirms:

  • That “compliance” cannot be measured against ghost documents

  • That safeguarding is not an excuse to suspend law, logic, or ethics

  • That children should not be examined, surveilled, or threatened without evidence

  • That this response shows what it looks like when a mother brings in counsel and the fiction starts to unravel

  • That no institution has the right to confuse silence for power

Formal request for court transcripts and attendance records after a secretive Interim Care Order imposed without notice, representation, or consent.


I. What Happened

On 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic (Director, SWANK London Ltd.) issued a formal written demand to Westminster Legal Services, the Family High Court, and multiple related bodies requesting the complete transcript and legal submissions from the hearing that removed her four children.

She specified that:

  • She was never informed the hearing was scheduled.

  • No documents were served.

  • No solicitor was authorised to act.

  • No consent was given for any filings in her name.

The request invoked Article 6 of the ECHR, the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and the Family Procedure Rules, insisting that the authorities confirm whether they would disclose the record as a court document or an FOI response.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • A procedural black hole: no notice, no service, no participation.

  • Institutional gatekeeping preventing parents from even seeing what was done in their name.

  • The absurdity of having to formally request basic records to prove one’s own exclusion.

  • The transformation of safeguarding into a closed-circuit theatre of power.

This was not an administrative formality. It was the deliberate concealment of process.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because you cannot exercise rights over your children by clairvoyance.
Because an unnotified hearing is not justice — it is administrative seizure with a legal gloss.
Because if the record is hidden, there can be no accountability, only anecdote.
And because SWANK is not in the business of anecdote. We are in the business of evidence.


IV. Violations

  • Human Rights Act 1998 — Article 6: Right to a fair hearing

  • Equality Act 2010 — Sections 20–21: Duty to make reasonable adjustments

  • Family Procedure Rules 2010 — Participation and disclosure

  • Freedom of Information Act 2000


V. SWANK’s Position

This was not due process.
⟡ This was procedural erasure. ⟡
SWANK does not accept the normalisation of clandestine hearings or the casual deletion of parents from the legal record.
We will document every exclusion. Every time.

Polly Chromatic v Westminster Family Court: Complaint for Unlawful and Inaccessible Removal



⟡ “No Hearing. No Notice. No Order. And No One Thought It Unusual?” ⟡
When Process Is Replaced by Pretend, the Archive Submits a Complaint.

Filed: 23 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMCOURT/COMPLAINT-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-23_SWANK_Complaint_FamilyCourt_UnlawfulRemovalAndDisabilityExclusion.pdf
Formal complaint filed with the President of the Family Division regarding the unlawful, inaccessible removal of four U.S. citizen children.


I. What Happened

On 23 June 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal complaint to Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Division. The complaint addressed the unlawful removal of her four U.S. citizen children by Westminster Children’s Services and Metropolitan Police — all carried out with no notice, no disability access, and no visible court order. The hearing, if it occurred at all, was inaccessible, undisclosed, and held without any participation from the disabled parent. No consular notification was made, and no accommodations were offered, despite longstanding medical documentation and active Judicial Review proceedings.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The parent was excluded from all procedural participation

  • No written notice, order, or communication was delivered prior to removal

  • No disability access measures were enacted before or after

  • No consular authority was informed despite all parties being U.S. citizens

  • The Family Court enabled the use of secret orders to enact jurisdictional trespass

This wasn’t just a breach. It was a systemic performance of erasure.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when children are removed and no one in the court can explain how — it isn’t law.
Because silence cannot be served in place of notice.
Because not one agency paused to ask whether their “removal” was even procedurally valid.
Because the parent’s identity — disabled, foreign, and in litigation — was treated not as protected, but expendable.
Because when the President of the Family Division has to be contacted to remind the court that due process exists —
SWANK considers that event historically significant.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Removal without notice, participation, or judicial transparency

  • Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Failure to make disability-related adjustments

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 and 8 – No fair hearing, no protection of family life

  • Family Procedure Rules – Breaches in service, disclosure, and hearing participation

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – No notification to the U.S. Embassy

  • UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) – Complete disregard for communication access


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t family court. It was institutional ghostwriting of parental removal.
This wasn’t legal process. It was a self-authored fiction stamped with a seal.
This wasn’t exclusion. It was targeted procedural disappearance.

SWANK submits this complaint not as a plea — but as a ledger entry in an expanding archive.
We do not ask for integrity.
We document the cost of its absence.
