Download PDF: 2025-09-01_Addendum_NotificationFailure_ICOHearing.pdf
Summary: Solicitor instructed, hearing missed, file falsified, rights breached.
I. What Happened
• On 24 June 2025, an Interim Care Order was made at a hearing which I was not notified of.
• I was represented by Mr. Alan Mullem of MBM Crawford Street Solicitors, yet I had no opportunity to attend.
• The court record wrongly logged me as “unrepresented.”
• I only learned of the ICO after the order had already been made.
II. What the Document Establishes
• That representation on file is meaningless if counsel withholds notice.
• That Westminster secured an order against me without my knowledge or attendance.
• That the solicitor’s emails constitute contemporaneous admissions of failure.
• That Article 6 ECHR — the right to a fair hearing — was violated in broad daylight.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
• Legal relevance: proves that even representation can be weaponised through silence.
• Educational significance: future training on how not to serve a vulnerable client.
• Historical preservation: the ICO made in absentia is now immortalised in the archive.
• Pattern recognition: aligns with systemic retaliation logged in prior SWANK entries.
IV. Applicable Standards & Violations
• Children Act 1989 (requirement for fairness and parental participation).
• Equality Act 2010 (failure to accommodate disability, incl. communication needs).
• Article 6 ECHR (denial of fair hearing).
• Judicial guidance on representation and duty of notification.
V. SWANK’s Position
This is not “legal representation.” This is absence masquerading as advocacy.
We do not accept that unopened envelopes amount to notice.
We reject the rewriting of records to erase representation.
We will continue to document every inversion of duty as data for reform and litigation.

Because evidence deserves elegance.
And retaliation deserves an archive.
