“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

Chromatic v Westminster: In Re Judicial Notice, Retaliatory Removal, and the Court That Cannot Plead Ignorance



“You’ve Been Notified.”

Judicial Notice Filed: The Family Court Is Now on Record That the Removal Was Retaliatory


Filed Date: 24 June 2025

Reference Code: SWANK/FAMCOURT/0624-JUDICIAL-NOTICE
Court Filename: 2025-06-24_Notice_FamilyCourt_JudicialReview_RetaliatoryRemovalDeclared
One-line Summary: Official judicial notice informing the Family Court that a Judicial Review has been filed, alleging retaliatory removal and unlawful safeguarding powers.


I. What Happened

On 24 June 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal notice to the Family Court confirming that a Judicial Review claim was now active before the Administrative Court.

This was not merely procedural—it was declarative.

The court was informed that the Emergency Protection Order (EPO) used to justify the removal of four U.S. citizen children on 23 June 2025 is now the subject of legal challenge under public law, disability law, and international treaty obligations.

The Family Court is now judicially on notice that the matter before it is no longer domestic—it is diplomatic, constitutional, and very likely unlawful.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • That a Judicial Review bundle was submitted between 17–24 June 2025, including grounds, evidence, and psychiatric confirmation of the mother’s legal exclusions.

  • That the EPO issued by Westminster was obtained and enforced without service, without accessible participation, and in blatant breach of Section 44 safeguards.

  • That a Discharge Application is pending, and the Family Court must now proceed in full knowledge that its own case may be struck down as retaliatory and ultra vires.

  • That all supporting documents are publicly available and timestamped via SWANK London Ltd.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the Family Court is not entitled to operate in procedural darkness while the High Court shines a light.

Because it is no longer tenable to hear arguments under the Children Act while ignoring live proceedings in the Administrative Court.

Because to ignore this filing is not neutrality—it is complicity.

And because SWANK London Ltd. will not permit judicial forgetfulness when the file is now permanent, public, and ready for international scrutiny.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Section 44 (Emergency Protection Order criteria)

  • Human Rights Act 1998 – Article 6 (Access to court) and Article 8 (Family life)

  • Equality Act 2010 – Disability discrimination and procedural exclusion

  • Vienna Convention on Consular Relations – Article 37

  • Judicial Review Principles – Procedural fairness, legitimate expectation, proportionality


V. SWANK’s Position

This isn’t just a notification. It’s a legal checkpoint. From this moment forward, the Family Court cannot say it didn’t know.

If it proceeds to make orders, deny contact, or uphold the EPO without acknowledging the active Judicial Review, it will be doing so in defiance of the separation of powers.

Let the court understand: SWANK London Ltd. does not litigate in secret. It litigates in gold ink and public archive.

Polly Chromatic v Family Court: Signature Dispute, Solicitor Termination, and Post-Hearing Nullification



⟡ “Representation Without Consent Is Not Representation” ⟡
The Signature Was Theirs. The Silence Was Engineered.

Filed: 25 June 2025
Reference: SWANK/FAMILYCOURT/DECLARATION-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-06-25_SWANK_Declaration_FamilyCourt_SignatureDisputeAndRepresentationTermination.pdf
Formal declaration terminating legal representation and disputing unauthorised use of name and signature.


I. What Happened

On 25 June 2025, Polly Chromatic submitted a formal declaration to the Family Court stating that she never authorised her solicitor, Alan Mullem, to represent her during the Interim Care Order hearing of 24 June 2025 — a hearing she was not informed of, not invited to, and did not attend. She received no prior notice, no documents, no explanation, and no follow-up. Despite this, legal documents appear to have been submitted in her name. She has now revoked all authority for Mr. Mullem to act and has officially disputed any document bearing her name or signature made without her explicit, informed consent.


II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • The Claimant was not informed of a critical hearing involving the removal of her children

  • A solicitor appeared to act on her behalf without instructions, communication, or consent

  • No documentation was received before or after the hearing

  • The Claimant is now self-representing and demands that all documents be verified

  • The hearing, and any outcome relying on misrepresented consent, is procedurally contaminated

This wasn’t legal aid. It was reputational laundering.


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because representation is not a performance staged without the client.
Because signing someone’s name without consent is not advocacy — it is forgery in slow motion.
Because silence engineered through institutional pathways is not an accident — it is tactical.
Because the Family Court has been used to process removals without authentic representation, oversight, or autonomy.
Because in every jurisdictional war, the signature is the first casualty.


IV. Violations

  • Children Act 1989 – Lack of notice and parental involvement

  • Solicitor Regulation Authority Code of Conduct – Breach of client communication and instruction duties

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6 – Right to fair trial and representation

  • Mental Capacity Act 2005 (as applied) – No proof of capacity breach, yet total procedural exclusion

  • Civil Procedure Rules, Part 21 & 22 – Unauthorized filing and misrepresentation


V. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t oversight. It was orchestration.
This wasn’t consent. It was procedural theatre.
This wasn’t a solicitor-client relationship. It was proxy-control by institutional design.

SWANK formally asserts that any signature submitted without communication, consent, or comprehension is null.
No order obtained through that silence can stand.
The Family Court is hereby placed on notice — silence will no longer be accepted as a strategy.

The Hearing Moved — But the Evidence Stayed Put



⟡ “The Court Moved the Date — But Not the Evidence” ⟡

Crown Court Confirms Rescheduling of March Hearing and Acknowledges All Prior Correspondence Has Been Submitted to the Judge for Review

Filed: 11 March 2025
Reference: SWANK/COURT/EMAIL-04
📎 Download PDF – 2025-03-11_SWANK_Email_CrownCourt_HearingReschedule_JudgeNotesCorrespondence.pdf
Summary: Inner London Crown Court confirms the 7 March hearing has been vacated and reset for 4 April 2025. All correspondence from Polly Chromatic has been received and will be considered.


I. What Happened

On 11 March 2025 at 10:57 AM, Polly Chromatic sent an email reply to the Inner London Crown Court confirming receipt of a new hearing date. This followed an earlier message from the court which:

– Vacated the hearing previously set for 7 March
– Reset the matter for hearing on 4 April 2025
– Affirmed that the judge has reviewed all past communications and submissions
– Directed further replies to the court’s official mailbox

The chain also confirms that Polly forwarded additional materials and marked the original service attempt to Mark Rowley (Met Police).


II. What the Record Establishes

• Your appearance requirement was officially altered
• The court now has formal possession of your communications and evidence
• This prevents future denial of submission visibility
• Your document trail remains uninterrupted and timestamped
• It shows responsible engagement on your part, including direct police notice


III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because judicial memory starts with documentation.
Because every delay, vacated date, or judge’s note needs to be tracked — with precision.
Because this email proves the court saw you — and your archive.

SWANK logs procedural compliance — and confirmation of judicial review.


IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that hearings vanish without documentation.
We do not accept that evidence can be unseen once acknowledged.
We do not accept that judicial notice is informal when the archive exists.

This wasn’t a date change. It was judicial receipt.
And SWANK will document every courtroom door that opened — or tried to close.
