Reference Code: SWANK/N1/NOTIFICATION/COURTWIDE
Filed by: Polly Chromatic
Filed from: W2 6JL
Court File Name:2025-07-04_ZC25C50281_Notification_Updated_Civil_Claim_Chromatic_v_Multiple_Defendants.pdf
I. What Happened
On 4 July 2025 at 13:46, the Claimant dispatched a formal email to every major administrative address within the Family Court system, including:
Central Family Court
High Court Family Division
Royal Courts of Justice
Private Law and Urgent inboxes
Judiciary-facing clerks and case officers
The subject?
“Notification of Updated Civil Claim – Related Proceedings – Chromatic v Multiple Defendants”
Attached?
A file not merely symbolic, but seismic:
The updated N1 claim bundle filed against 23 institutional defendants — including the very councils appearing before the Family Court in simultaneous proceedings.
II. What It Contained
This filing:
Asserted a direct link between civil harm and Family Court involvement
Named the councils, hospitals, and agencies involved
Confirmed that the initial claim was filed 7 March 2025, updated 5 May, and further escalated 4 July
It requested nothing except acknowledgment of truth:
“Please confirm receipt… and include it on the case file.”
No drama. Just doctrine.
A velvet glove over a concrete record.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because systems only pretend not to see what hasn’t been formally placed before them.
Because the Family Court often pretends the civil world doesn’t exist —
until a litigant forces the matter by simply informing them that the world outside the court has receipts, folders, and Google Drives.
Because this was not a cry for help.
It was a declaration of sovereignty in the form of procedural courtesy.
IV. SWANK’s Position
SWANK London Ltd. recognises this filing as:
A civilised interruption to judicial amnesia
A non-negotiable act of record-anchoring
And the moment the Family Court officially lost its plausible deniability
This was not just an email.
This was the archive announcing its litigation posture.
Let no future hearing say “we didn’t know.”
You were told.
You were Bcc’d.
And you were attached.
