Formal email to legal counsel refusing to consent to Westminster's proposed contact arrangement for four removed U.S. citizen children, citing consular rights, pending discharge application, and unresolved legal violations.
I. What Happened
On 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic sent a written directive to her solicitor Alan Mullem following receipt of Westminster Council’s “contact” proposal. The email made one thing unequivocally clear:
There would be no consent to any arrangements until:
The U.S. Embassy confirmed oversight, and
The discharge application under Section 44(10) was heard.
Polly further instructed Mr. Mullem to:
Challenge the contact offer
Assert disability rights
Request consular access for all future proceedings
She concluded with a final statement of legal escalation:
“If not, I will proceed to act in person.”
II. What the Complaint Establishes
The contact proposal was issued without resolving the legality of the removal
Disability accommodations were once again omitted
The solicitor had to be instructed explicitly to challenge state conduct
The parent withheld consent and asserted consular authority
The contact proposal was premature, inappropriate, and procedurally offensive
This wasn’t a parent declining contact. It was a litigant asserting jurisdictional supremacy.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because contact cannot proceed when the foundation is unlawful.
Because U.S. citizens deserve more than thirty-minute Zoom sessions from foreign soil.
Because a contact proposal is not a correction — it’s a continuation of harm.
Because when the solicitor hesitates, the archive proceeds.
IV. Violations
Children Act 1989, Section 34 – Contact proposals cannot proceed during unlawful detention
Equality Act 2010, Section 20 – Disability-based written-only access neglected again
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Article 36 – U.S. Embassy not included in post-removal arrangements
UNCRC Articles 9 & 10 – Family unity and international safeguards ignored
UNCRPD Article 13 – Legal participation of disabled parent obstructed
V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t resistance. It was jurisdictional structure in sentence form.
This wasn’t refusal. It was constitutional reservation in writing — timestamped, cited, filed.
This wasn’t unclear. It was the legal sound of velvet saying “no.”
SWANK hereby logs this refusal not as defiance — but as a procedural checkpoint for every action Westminster now attempts.
Consent is not assumed.
Jurisdiction is not ceded.
And Regal is not forgotten.
