“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: Or, the Charade of Consent in the Age of Procedural Gaslighting


⟡ SWANK London Ltd. Evidentiary Catalogue
The Mirage of Consent:
On Voluntariness, Legal Fiction, and the Theatre of Protective Procedure

Filed Date:
13 July 2025

Reference Code:
SWANK-A14-BROMLEY635

Court File Name:
2025-07-13_Addendum_Bromley635_S20ConsentMirage

1-Line Summary:
Page 635 of Bromley confirms what Westminster desperately tried to deny: Section 20 is not a velvet crowbar for coercive removal.

I. What Happened

In theory, Section 20 is a gentle agreement — a legal handshake between families and the state. In practice, it’s often a bureaucratic sleight of hand. And in the case of Polly Chromatic, it became the staging ground for a theatre of deception.

No risk.
No threshold.
No informed consent.
No proper service of an Interim Protection Order (IPO).

Only a forced narrative — polished in silence — and rehearsed by professionals who mistake convenience for law. The “voluntary” nature of the agreement existed only on paper, while real decisions happened in parallel, offstage, without warning.

Westminster’s role?
Co-director of a farce they called safeguarding.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Bromley’s text lays down three rules — each broken:

  1. Section 20 does not grant parental responsibility to the state.
    → Yet Westminster acted as if it did.

  2. Consent must be voluntary, informed, and ongoing.
    → Polly was denied all three — misled, misrepresented, and manipulated.

  3. Section 20 cannot substitute for legal threshold or due process.
    → Yet they used it as a cover while filing secret IPO applications behind her back.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
It was staged removal — produced by a local authority that confused administrative control with legal authority.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because:

  • “Voluntary accommodation” ends the moment the state acts without you.

  • “Partnership” ends when the state hides court proceedings from you.

  • And the entire statutory pretext collapses when legal fiction is mistaken for fact.

Section 20 is a mutual agreement — not a secret screenplay with only one author. Westminster tried to mask a coercive procedural trap in the velvet robes of consent. Bromley saw it. So did the courts. And now, so does SWANK.

IV. Violations

  • ⚖️ Children Act 1989, s.20 – Coerced and invalid consent

  • ⚖️ Human Rights Act 1998, Article 6 – Denial of fair trial through solicitor collusion

  • ⚖️ ECHR Article 8 – Family life interrupted without lawful justification

  • ⚖️ Equality Act 2010 – Procedural degradation via disability-based assumptions

  • 📚 Relevant Case Law:

    • Williams v Hackney LBC [2018] – Parental consent must be real and uncoerced

    • R (L) v Islington LBC – Section 20 must not replace proper due process

    • R (A) v Croydon – All public bodies must act transparently and fairly

V. SWANK’s Position

Polly Chromatic did not agree.
She was not warned.
She was not served.
She was not protected.

Section 20 is not a legislative shortcut. It is not permission to deceive. And it is not — as Westminster would like to believe — a stealth route to parental override.

It is a statute.

Not a wand.
