“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.

R (Chromatic) v. The Case That Wasn’t Managed [2025] SWANK 36 What the CMH will hear — is what the children lived.



⟡ Statement of Position for Case Management Hearing, July 2025 ⟡
Chromatic v. The Nine Days of Silence [2025] SWANK 36 — “The system paused. The children did not.”

Filed: 2 July 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/CMH-POSITION-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-02_StatementOfPosition_CMH.pdf
Filed ahead of the July CMH; documents emotional deterioration, medical neglect, and obstruction of contact since 23 June.


I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person, filed a Statement of Position with the Central Family Court in preparation for the upcoming Case Management Hearing scheduled for July 2025. The filing documents:

  • Nine consecutive days of contact denial following the EPO on 23 June

  • Cancellation of asthma-related medical care without consultation

  • Visible emotional collapse observed during first permitted contact on 2 July — especially in the youngest child

  • No information on medication status, placements, schooling, or emotional support for the children

  • Repeated obstruction of lawful contact and disregard for judicial expectations set at removal

This submission does not request sympathy. It demands jurisdictional recalibration.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Children with chronic health conditions were subjected to an unbroken period of institutional isolation

  • Medical treatment plans were unilaterally cancelled, breaching both continuity of care and duty of consultation

  • Contact has been systemically suppressed, disguised as administrative backlog

  • Emotional trauma is no longer speculative — it is visible, recorded, and escalating

  • Nine days of silence in response to a care order constitutes not protection, but abandonment by design


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because nine days without contact is not an administrative delay. It is harm.
Because cancelling asthma care is not a clerical error. It is medical negligence under procedural cover.
Because a system that removes children in one day and says nothing for nine is not broken. It is functioning exactly as built.
Because the youngest child is visibly collapsing — and no one in uniform seems to think that matters.
And because SWANK is not submitting a position. SWANK is submitting a correction to the record.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §§22 & 34 – Duty to maintain contact and medical continuity

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3 & 8 – Protection from degrading treatment; right to family life

  • UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Articles 9, 24 – Right to parental contact and access to healthcare

  • Equality Act 2010, §149 – Failure to prevent indirect discrimination against disabled parent and asthmatic children

  • Care Planning Regulations 2010 – Breakdown in placement review, parental communication, and contact integrity


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t a procedural delay. It was systemic muting of a family in crisis.
We do not accept “case preparation” as an excuse for nine days of vanishing.
We do not accept contact that arrives only when the parent begs.
We do not accept the repackaging of silence as case management.
This case will be managed — but not by those who erased nine days from the record.
This filing is not a plea. It is an evidentiary landmark.

Chromatic v Westminster: The Clinic Without Consent



From Parent to Patient File

The Medical Absconding of U.S. Citizen Children Without Notification, Consent, or Lawful Custody Protocol


Filed Date: 3 July 2025

Reference Code: SWANK/USC/0703-MEDICAL-UNAUTHORISED
Court Filename: 2025-07-03_UrgentUpdate_USCitizenChildren_SubjectToUnauthorisedMedical
One-line Summary: Three U.S. citizen children were medically re-registered without parental consent or court disclosure while under contested UK local authority custody.


I. What Happened

On 27 June 2025, during an ongoing High Court Judicial Review concerning the unlawful removal of four U.S. citizen children, three of the minors—Regal, Kingdom and Prerogative—were registered with a new NHS General Practice (Highgrove Surgery, F82680). This occurred without the knowledge, consent, or participation of their mother, Polly Chromatic, who retains full legal parental responsibility.

The fourth child, Heir, was notably excluded from the new medical registration—raising immediate concerns of unexplained separation and administrative opacity. This reallocation of healthcare oversight was not communicated to the Family Court, nor to the parent, nor to the U.S. Embassy, which had previously intervened on consular grounds.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  1. Violation of Parental Rights: The re-registration of minors with a new GP absent court order or lawful justification constitutes a breach of custodial process and international parental rights.

  2. Consular Disregard: The U.S. Embassy had previously been informed of the children’s removal and expressed concern, yet local authorities proceeded to alter the medical oversight of American minors without bilateral coordination.

  3. Safeguarding Confusion: The exclusion of Heir from medical re-registration suggests either a failure of unified care or an undisclosed placement decision — both scenarios posing serious safeguarding contradictions.

  4. Ongoing Judicial Review: The actions occurred during active litigation, reinforcing the impression of procedural circumvention under contested legal circumstances.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

This submission documents a pattern of public authority conduct that functions as de facto severance of parental access while bypassing judicial scrutiny. SWANK London Ltd. archives this incident as part of a broader evidentiary matrix tracking unlawful medical, custodial, and procedural violations against American minors resident in the UK under disputed care arrangements.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, Sections 3 and 33

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 6 and 8

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), Article 37

  • Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR

  • United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 9


V. SWANK’s Position

This incident is neither trivial nor clerical. The medical reallocation of vulnerable U.S. citizen children without lawful parental notification, consent, or oversight undermines the legal premise of family unity, violates international safeguarding norms, and exemplifies bureaucratic opportunism in the shadow of litigation.

Where the Family Court remains uninformed, and the Embassy's jurisdiction is dismissed as advisory, SWANK London Ltd. acts as the only functioning evidentiary intermediary between institutional indifference and legal redress.

Re the Children (Unlawful Seizure & Procedural Panic) [2025] SWANK 26 A bundle submitted. A façade collapsed.



⟡ Emergency Protection Order Submission, Rebutted in Full ⟡
Chromatic v. Panic-Led Procedure [2025] SWANK 26 — “You filed an EPO. I filed a canon.”

Filed: 26 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/EPO-BUNDLE
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-26_Urgent_Family_Court_Bundle_Submission_SWANK_London_Ltd_on_Behalf_of_Ms_Simlett_Case_Reference_If_Known.pdf
Full evidentiary bundle rebutting an EPO imposed on a disabled U.S. parent mid-litigation.


I. What Happened
On 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person and via her legal proxy, SWANK London Ltd, submitted a comprehensive evidentiary bundle in response to an Emergency Protection Order (EPO) dated 23 June 2025. The submission includes:

  • Core discharge and parental applications (EPO Discharge, C100, C2s)

  • Medical and legal records, jurisdictional defences, public record contradictions

  • A complete Statement of Truth, indexed cover sheets, and LiP declaration

  • Supporting documentation detailing targeted safeguarding misuse during live litigation
    The bundle was transmitted to court and relevant state actors, including Westminster and the U.S. Embassy. All correspondence was formally redirected through SWANK.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The EPO was issued without lawful cause, proportionality, or procedural integrity.

  • Safeguarding mechanisms have been manipulated to shield agencies from reputational damage.

  • A disabled U.S. citizen was targeted mid-litigation, not due to risk — but because she resisted.

  • Multiple state agents knowingly withheld corrective actions while escalating coercive control.

  • The response was not just disproportionate. It was choreographed.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because Emergency Protection Orders are not tools for retaliation theatre.
Because filing a 100+ page evidentiary bundle within 72 hours of unlawful seizure is not just legal competence — it is aesthetic vengeance.
Because silence from state actors when confronted with truth is not neutrality. It’s consent.
And because SWANK does not observe. SWANK intervenes — archivally, legally, historically.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §44 — Misuse of emergency powers without risk-based evidence

  • Equality Act 2010, §§6, 20, 149 — Discrimination and failure to adjust for disability

  • ECHR, Art. 8 — Interference with family life under false authority

  • Human Rights Act 1998, §6 — Breach of duty by public bodies

  • GDPR/DPA 2018, Art. 5 — Procedural concealment and inaccurate record use


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t an intervention. It was an ambush wrapped in stationery.
We do not accept orders filed faster than facts.
We do not accept safeguarding used to suppress litigation.
We do not accept Westminster’s strategic ineptitude masquerading as concern.
What was issued on 23 June was not protection. It was reputational retaliation.
And what followed on 26 June — was evidentiary ruin.

Chromatic v. Westminster Borough & Others [2025] SWANK 26: A Case on the Tactical Misuse of Safeguarding Frameworks



⟡ Emergency Protection Order Challenge Submission ⟡
Chromatic v. False Authority [2025] SWANK 26 — “Retaliation is not safeguarding. It’s strategy.”

Filed: 26 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/EPO-DISPUTE
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-26_Urgent_Family_Court_Bundle_Submission_SWANK_London_Ltd_on_Behalf_of_Ms_Simlett.pdf
Full evidentiary bundle disputing the legitimacy of an EPO against a disabled U.S. mother.


I. What Happened
On 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person and via SWANK London Ltd., submitted a complete evidentiary bundle regarding an Emergency Protection Order issued on 23 June 2025. The submission includes core discharge applications, medical evidence, jurisdictional arguments, public record documentation, and procedural breach notifications. A Master Index and Statement of Truth were included. Recipients included Family Division judiciary, Westminster officials, the U.S. Embassy, and other regulatory bodies. Postal and digital copies were dispatched in parallel. All communication has been redirected through SWANK London Ltd. for formal archival.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The Emergency Protection Order was procedurally improper and unlawfully motivated.

  • A pattern of safeguarding as reprisal emerges, targeting a disabled mother litigating against local authority failings.

  • Public record documentation reveals material contradictions in local authority statements.

  • No evidence of immediate risk. Instead: strategic containment, jurisdictional manipulation, and institutional panic.

  • Disabled litigants are expected to remain disorganised. This bundle dismantles that presumption.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because emergency powers, once invoked in bad faith, become legal instruments of punishment.
Because this mother has children, not leverage — and courts should know the difference.
Because silence from Westminster isn't oversight. It’s orchestration.
Because the safeguarding framework has been corrupted by reputational fear.
And because SWANK does not accept ‘emergency’ as a pretext for erasure.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §44 — Improper invocation of Emergency Protection Order powers

  • Equality Act 2010, §149 — Failure to consider impact on disabled parent

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Sch.1, Art. 8 — Interference with family life without lawful justification

  • Data Protection Act 2018, Pt.3 — Use of misleading records as justification for intervention


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t safeguarding. It was surveillance masquerading as concern.
We do not accept unlawful orders rushed through with theatrical urgency.
We do not accept the weaponisation of statutory duties to silence whistleblowers.
We do not accept the architecture of panic dressed up as child protection.
This bundle has been submitted not for consideration — but for confrontation.

Re Four Children (Medical Risk, Cultural Erasure, and Contact Denial) [2025] SWANK 35 The transition from safeguarding to sanctioned harm.



⟡ Formal Record of Harm: Unlawful Isolation, Medical Endangerment & Procedural Cruelty ⟡
Chromatic v. The Architecture of Disconnection [2025] SWANK 35 — “This isn’t safeguarding. It’s engineered silence.”

Filed: 2 July 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-07-02_Statement_of_Harm_Contact_and_Medical_Breach_ZC25C50281.pdf
Comprehensive statement on denial of contact, cancellation of asthma care, and isolation of four U.S. citizen minors under care.


I. What Happened
On 2 July 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal legal record detailing the unlawful conditions her four children have endured since their removal on 23 June. The record includes:

  • Cancellation of asthma treatment appointments at Hammersmith Hospital without consultation

  • Absence of prescriptions or supervision protocols for children with chronic asthma

  • Complete severance from familial, cultural, educational, and emotional anchors

  • Withheld letters, unreturned belongings, blocked correspondence, and no address provided for comfort items

  • One week of total contact denial, despite a court-ordered minimum of two sessions per week

What had been a life of movement, joy, and relational stability was replaced with isolationconfusion, and documented medical risk.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • There has been a clear breach of medical duty to children with complex health needs.

  • Contact denial has caused active emotional deterioration, psychological distress, and cultural dislocation.

  • Public officials have overridden continuity of care without justification — and without documentation.

  • The children’s rights as U.S. citizens, as asthmatic patients, and as subjects of judicial protection are actively being ignored.

  • “Safeguarding” has become the pretext through which disconnection and harm are being delivered with bureaucratic elegance.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because what has been inflicted here is not removal. It is deletion.
Because children should not be punished for procedural panic or reputational cleanup.
Because asthma is not a narrative — it is a condition with inhalers, triggers, and protocols.
Because four children had their care systems dismantled in a week — without anyone calling that “harm.”
Because a safeguarding framework that erases family life is not lawful. It is performative abuse.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §§22, 10 – Duty to maintain continuity and involve parents in health and care

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Articles 3, 6, 8 – Protection from degrading treatment, family life, and due process

  • UNCRC, Articles 3, 9, 24 – Best interests of the child, right to contact with parents, highest attainable health

  • Equality Act 2010, §149 – Failure to consider protected characteristics and health vulnerabilities

  • NHS Constitution – Right to continuity of medical care and patient involvement in planning


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t safeguarding. It was architecture — designed to break continuity, connection, and compliance.
We do not accept silent children as a system's success.
We do not accept contact blocked by omission and care denied by calendar.
We do not accept cultural erasure disguised as procedural logistics.
This was not care. It was disappearance.
And SWANK has now formally filed the harm you hoped would remain informal.

Chromatic v. Panic-Led Procedure [2025] SWANK 26 — “When safeguarding loses its meaning, evidence becomes an act of defence.”

Definitive evidentiary bundle refuting the basis of a 23 June Emergency Protection Order.


I. What Happened
On 26 June 2025, Polly Chromatic, acting as litigant-in-person and via SWANK London Ltd, issued a completed and final evidentiary bundle addressing the Emergency Protection Order of 23 June 2025.
This submission includes:

  • Section A: Core legal applications (EPO Discharge, C100, C2)

  • Sections B–H: Supporting medical, jurisdictional, and evidentiary materials

  • A Master Index, Statement of Truth, and declaration of litigant status

  • Public record documentation refuting Westminster narratives

  • Procedural breaches catalogued for litigation, not review

Communications have been lawfully redirected through SWANK. Postal delivery is in progress.
Receipt is demanded — silence will be treated as tactical omission and archived accordingly.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The EPO was issued on reputation management, not risk.

  • Safeguarding was deployed to undermine legal resistance — not to protect children.

  • Local authority actors have knowingly misrepresented facts across internal communications.

  • A disabled parent, actively litigating, was targeted mid-process — not for child welfare, but for institutional damage control.

  • No meaningful threshold was met. But panic dressed itself in “procedure.”


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because state power, when left unrecorded, metastasises.
Because EPOs, when filed without foundation, are not protective — they are performative.
Because the safeguarding of U.S. minors cannot be entrusted to British bureaucracy gripped by optics.
Because disabled mothers are expected to beg, not file.
Because every page of this bundle dismantles that expectation.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989, §44 – No sufficient basis for emergency intervention

  • Equality Act 2010, §§6, 20, 149 – Failure to adjust; discriminatory treatment of disabled litigant

  • ECHR, Art. 8 – Unlawful interference with family life

  • Human Rights Act 1998, §6 – Public authority breaches of statutory duty

  • GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018, Art. 5 – Reliance on inaccurate and unrectified record


V. SWANK’s Position
This wasn’t safeguarding. It was sabotage masquerading as statutory care.
We do not accept theatrics filed as legal orders.
We do not accept professional cowardice hidden behind acronyms.
We do not accept Westminster's silence as anything but consent.
This is not a family matter. This is a jurisdictional emergency.
The bundle stands. The evidence is filed. The record will not be redacted.

Chromatic v. Procedural Evasion [2025] SWANK 11



⟡ Case Management Hearing: July 2025 ⟡
“Naturally, I’ll be attending. I authored the evidence.”

Filed: 29 June 2025

📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-29_Case_Management_Hearing_Confirmation_11_July_2025_Submissions_Pending.pdf
Litigant-in-person confirms attendance; five bundles pending. Court notified — as courtesy, not request.


I. What Happened
On 29 June 2025, Polly Chromatic (litigant-in-person, director of SWANK London Ltd) issued formal confirmation of her attendance at the Case Management Hearing scheduled for July 2025 at 10:00am, Central Family Court, Royal Courts of Justice. The message, dispatched to institutional addresses with punctilious precision, declared forthcoming submission of five meticulously constructed bundles, including international filings. A medical exemption was restated — not requested.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Judicial process has been pre-empted by the procedural sophistication of the litigant.

  • Repetition of accommodation demands evidences system fatigue, not applicant failure.

  • SWANK’s submissions arrive structured, footnoted, and indexed — unlike the court’s responses.

  • Authority is not derived from robes or title but from clarity, preparation, and relentlessness.

  • The litigant is conducting this case with more rigour than the institutions ever offered.


III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because when institutions presume chaos, order is political.
Because a disabled mother delivering five separate bundles while under pressure is not just litigation — it’s jurisprudential theatre.
Because this system was built for gatekeeping, not grace.
Because SWANK is not waiting for justice to catch up with its own calendar.
And because every polite reminder is now formal notice.


IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, §20 – Repeated failure to honour medical exemptions

  • Article 6, ECHR – Systemic impediment to fair and accessible proceedings

  • Family Procedure Rules 2010, Pt. 1 & 4 – Failure to uphold just case management


V. SWANK’s Position
The Court has been notified. The record has been set. The bundles are in production.
This wasn’t a confirmation. It was a curtsy withheld.
We do not accept silence rebranded as impartiality.
We do not accept erasure packaged as oversight.
We do not accept amateurish inefficiency from those who claim authority.
What we document, we archive.
What we archive, we escalate.
