“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

In Re: The Lawfulness of Inaction Or, How the ICO and Two Boroughs Were Told They Are Now the Subject of Jurisdiction, Not Its Agents


⟡ The Archive Challenges the Lawfulness of Everything ⟡

Or, When the ICO Was Asked to Explain Its Silence, and the Councils Their Crimes

Metadata

Filed: 4 July 2025
Reference Code: SWANK/JR/ICO/RBKC/WEST
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:
2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_JudicialReviewSubmission_ICO_LawfulnessChallenge.pdf

I. What Happened

On 4 July 2025, Polly Chromatic filed a formal Judicial Review application targeting the Information Commissioner’s Office, Westminster City Council, and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

The claim?
Lawlessness by silence. Maladministration by design. Complicity by omission.

Specifically, this submission challenges:

  • The lawfulness of the ICO’s inaction on urgent data protection complaints

  • The coordinated misuse of safeguarding law following disability disclosures

  • And the lack of legal basis for the removal of four U.S. citizen children

This was not a petition.
It was an indictment wrapped in procedural velvet.

II. Why It Matters

This submission alleges:

  • Breach of Article 8 (Right to family life)

  • Disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010

  • Data protection failures under UK GDPR

  • Procedural abuse under the Children Act and JR protocols

It asserts that the very regulators charged with oversight became accessories by inaction — particularly the ICO, who received multiple notices, failed to act, and thereby enabled retaliatory safeguarding actions.

Let us be clear:
The ICO’s delay is not neutral. It is administratively violent.

III. What the Document Contains

  • Full Statement of Grounds

  • Chronology of misconduct

  • Named references to Kirsty Hornal, Sam Brown, Sarah Newman, and ICO handling officers

  • A demand for injunctive relief, investigative inquiry, and public accountability

This is no narrow complaint.
This is a jurisdictional intervention — against the machinery of deflection.

IV. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is where the archive ceases to whisper and begins to command.

Because a mother whose children were stolen in legal daylight, and whose complaints were ignored by the ICO, has now turned the table:

  • She is no longer the petitioner.

  • She is the litigant-archivist, moving jurisdiction like a scalpel.

Because judicial review is not just about challenging decisions —
it is about challenging the right to pretend they were lawful in the first place.

V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. recognises this submission as:

  • A defining moment of procedural escalation

  • A document that renders denial no longer credible

  • A formal declaration that non-response is no longer an option

This is not just a court document.
This is an institutional challenge to the performance of oversight itself.

The ICO may redact. The Councils may redact.
But the archive remembers everything.
