A five-part evidentiary suite documenting refusal notices, police reports, digital surveillance, and institutional misconduct pre-EPO.
I. What Happened
In the week before Westminster’s Emergency Protection Order on 23 June 2025, SWANK London Ltd. filed a cascade of formal notices and digital barricades. These included: a public refusal proxy, a jurisdictional redirect email auto-reply, traffic logs correlating to state surveillance, four separate police reports against social worker Kirsty Hornal, and evidence of institutional visits provoked by SWANK’s public posts.
Each document was submitted to the Family Court as Section H — the evidentiary flame curtain before procedural siege.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
Legal service was redirected formally and publicly via SWANK
Authorities ignored lawful notices, escalating to retaliation and covert visits
Platform traffic revealed state actors monitoring the archive before removal
Police reports against a named officer were filed months prior to enforcement
Informal engagement persisted despite multiple refusals and public warning
This was not “safeguarding.” It was evidence contempt, legally incinerated.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
This sequence matters because it proves foreknowledge. The Local Authority knew. The police knew. And Westminster knew their agents were named, warned, and procedurally walled off. Section H is not supplementary — it is anticipatory jurisprudence. It pre-empts the alibi of ignorance.
Every file logged before the removal. Every word dressed for court. Every spike in traffic matched by a footstep at the door.
This is what a procedural ambush looks like when the target builds a barricade made of legal glass.
IV. Violations
Article 8, ECHR – Right to respect for private and family life
Equality Act 2010 – Ignored disability communication protocols
Data Protection Act 2018 – Digital tracking without lawful basis
Family Procedure Rules – Breach of formal service expectations
Human Rights Act 1998 – Retaliatory pattern against lawful speech
V. SWANK’s Position
We wrote the refusal.
We filed the refusal.
We published the refusal.
And still, they arrived.
What followed was not safeguarding. It was a performance of state authority ignoring its own audience cues.
We do not debate consent in the shadow of coercion. We document. And we archive.
