Summary: Enforcement application and costs-variation motion regarding Westminster’s defiance of Deputy District Judge Dray’s order dated 12 September 2025.

I. What Happened

On 12 September 2025, before Deputy District Judge Dray, an injunction order was granted in case M03CL193, confirming the Applicant’s lawful right to maintain written publication and directing Westminster to channel all correspondence through director@swanklondon.com.

Westminster—predictably—treated the order as a fashion accessory rather than an instruction.

By October, they had yet to comply, choosing instead to perform bureaucratic pirouettes of avoidance, misplaced authority, and procedural choreography best described as municipal mime.

II. What the Document Establishes

• The original injunction remains legally binding.
• The Applicant has now filed an N244 Enforcement Application, complete with Section IX – Variation of Costs Order, requesting reimbursement of the £947 unjustly imposed at the September hearing.
• Westminster’s conduct demonstrates deliberate disobedience of a court order and continued interference with protected rights of publication, correspondence, and professional identity.
• The matter now escalates formally to an enforcement and costs hearing before the Central London County Court.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a Local Authority believes itself too regal to obey the judiciary, SWANK London Ltd. must remind it that contempt is not couture.

Because court orders are not advisory accessories.

Because procedural insubordination, when executed with public funds, deserves to be documented in silk and irony.

IV. Violations

• Civil Procedure Rules 44.2 & 70.4 – non-compliance with judicial direction and failure to satisfy costs fairness.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Section 6 – public authority acting unlawfully in its public capacity.
• Equality Act 2010, Section 29 – discriminatory obstruction of communication and participation.
• Judicial Authority Clause (Implied) – refusal to comply with a valid injunction order.

V. SWANK’s Position

SWANK London Ltd. regards this matter as a study in bureaucratic vanity: an example of how a public authority, when faced with its own reflection in a court order, attempts to redraw the mirror.

The Applicant’s N244 application seeks to enforce the order and transfer the cost burden to the Respondent, as justice demands.

The £947 once imposed upon the mother was not payment for disobedience—it was the price of dignity in a court that witnessed it.

Now, the bill returns to sender.

On the Vulgarities of Delegated Civility and the National Discomfort of the Foster State

⟡ SWANK ENTRY — METROPOLITAN POLICE REPORT: PLACEMENT INCIDENT ⟡

Filed: 07 October 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/CRIMINAL-BIAS

Summary: Formal Metropolitan Police report (Ref: TAA-50103-25-0101-IR) documenting discriminatory and verbally abusive conduct by Westminster-approved foster carers toward Regal (aged 16), supported by the Council’s internal incident admission.

I. What Happened

On 7 September 2025, during a morning interaction at a Westminster-commissioned foster placement in Ilford (715A High Road, Seven Kings, IG3 8RH), the male foster carer shouted “I’ve f**ing had enough*” within earshot of all four children, following a disagreement with Regal (aged 16, dual U.S.–U.K. citizen) about leaving the house early to ride his bicycle.

The incident occurred in front of his siblings (Prerogative, Kingdom, and Heir), prompting visible distress.
A Metropolitan Police online report was filed by Polly Chromatic (mother) on 6 October 2025 at 19:51, citing harassment, verbal abuse, and discriminatory behaviour based on nationality.

The police report identifies:
• Victim: Regal (16, Mixed White–Black Caribbean heritage, severe eosinophilic asthma)
• Reporter: Polly Chromatic, mother and Director of SWANK London Ltd.
• Incident Location: 715A High Rd, Seven Kings, Ilford IG3 8RH
• Offence Type: Verbal assault and discriminatory conduct under delegated state care
• Bias Factors: National origin and ethnicity

The foster carer’s own admission of misconduct is confirmed in an internal Westminster email from Bruce Murphy (Social Worker, WCC) dated 9 September 2025, co-signed to Kirsty Hornal and Sam Brown, describing Del’s outburst as “not acceptable.”

II. What the Document Establishes

• The Metropolitan Police Service formally recorded a criminal complaint concerning verbal abuse and bias within a Westminster-commissioned placement.
• Westminster City Council internally corroborated the event — confirming the carer’s conduct, tone, and apology — yet continued the placement.
• The foster carers had previously made derogatory comments, including that Regal “doesn’t know how to ride a bike because he’s American”, revealing a sustained national-origin prejudice.
• The Local Authority’s framing of the event as a “disagreement” rather than discriminatory misconduct demonstrates systemic minimisation of racial and national bias within its placements.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because the pattern of foster-care hostility toward U.S.–born children is neither accidental nor harmless — it is cultural cruelty legitimised by paperwork.
Because a system that normalises verbal abuse, excuses bias, and recasts it as “boundary setting” is unfit to protect any child.
Because Regal’s dignity was once again subordinated to institutional convenience.

SWANK logs this as a mirror instance of custodial incivility — a child’s humiliation transformed into administrative prose.

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989, s.22(3): Failure to safeguard and promote the welfare of the child in care.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 3 & 14: Degrading treatment and discriminatory bias by state agents.
• ECHR, Art. 8: Interference with family and private life under hostile placement conditions.
• Equality Act 2010, s.26: Harassment related to nationality and race.
• UNCRC, Art. 19 & 29: Failure to protect from psychological harm and to ensure respect for cultural identity.

V. SWANK’s Position

This event encapsulates the unrefined temperament of state care: bureaucratic contrition masking emotional violence.
The council’s own admission that the carer’s outburst was “not acceptable” yet its choice to retain the placement confirms Westminster’s institutional tolerance for misconduct.
SWANK London Ltd. deems this incident a documented act of national-origin harassment under delegated custody, warranting immediate placement suspension, formal investigation, and public accountability for supervisory negligence.

On the Indecency of Delegated Care and the Failure of State Custodians

⟡ SWANK ENTRY — HEIR POLICE REPORT ⟡

Filed: 06 October 2025
Reference: SWANK/WESTMINSTER/CRIMINAL-ABUSE
Download PDF: 2025-10-06_SWANK_Report_HeirBurnIncident.pdf
Summary: Formal police report documenting a physical injury (curling iron burn) sustained by eight-year-old Heir while in foster care under Westminster supervision.

I. What Happened

On 5 October 2025, during a supervised contact at Green Mayes Contact Centre (Ilford), Heir — aged eight, American citizen, and child of the Applicant — disclosed that someone deliberately burned her hand with a curling iron.
The injury was visibly open, untreated, and consistent with a thermal burn.
Her mother, Polly Chromatic, photographed the wound and immediately filed an online Metropolitan Police Report(Ref: TAA-50108-25-0101-IR) at 20:01 on 6 October 2025.

The report identifies:
• Victim: Heir (8, female, Mixed White–Black Caribbean heritage, severe eosinophilic asthma)
• Reporter: Polly Chromatic, mother, Director of SWANK London Ltd.
• Incident Location: 79 Duke Road, Ilford IG6 1NL
• Nature of Offence: Assault occasioning actual bodily harm (thermal burn)
• Perpetrator: Unknown (suspected foster carer or household member)

II. What the Document Establishes

• A recorded physical injury inflicted upon a disabled child under Local Authority care.
• Formal acknowledgment by the Metropolitan Police Service that the injury was severe enough to warrant a criminal report.
• Evidence of medical neglect — untreated wound visible at time of contact.
• Confirmation of racial and national-origin hostility cited as contributing factors.
• Corroboration that the incident took place while the child was under Westminster’s delegated safeguarding duty.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because Westminster Children’s Services continue to frame their safeguarding interventions as protective, when in reality their placements have produced physical harm, untreated injury, and the visible distress of a U.S. citizen child.
Because Heir’s pain was met with procedural silence.
Because institutional custody without accountability is not protection — it is custody with injury.

IV. Violations

• Children Act 1989, s.22(3) – failure to safeguard and promote welfare while in care.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 3 – inhuman or degrading treatment.
• ECHR, Art. 8 – violation of family life through unsafe foster placement.
• UNCRC, Art. 19 – failure to protect child from all forms of physical violence.
• Equality Act 2010, ss. 6 & 20 – neglect of disability-related welfare needs (asthma).

V. SWANK’s Position

This incident is not an isolated act of carelessness but part of a pattern of neglect masked as oversight.
The Local Authority’s continued control over medical access, supervision, and reporting constitutes a structural abuse of safeguarding powers.
SWANK London Ltd. considers the burn on Heir’s hand to be prima facie evidence of criminal negligence under delegated care, warranting immediate suspension of the current placement, police investigation, and a full welfare reassessment.

⟡ The Origin Dress — in Transnational Velvet ⟡

Filed: 14 October 2025

Download PDF: 2025-10-14_Core_WitnessStatement_OriginDress.pdf
Summary: A historical witness statement tracing the first legal stitch of safeguarding misuse — born in the Caribbean, refined in Westminster, and lined entirely with procedural irony.

I. What Happened

In 2020, before Westminster rehearsed its own safeguarding theatre, the Department of Social Development (Turks & Caicos) premiered the original performance.
Letters went unanswered. Reports were withheld.
A “Care Plan” appeared — one that no parent had ever seen.
And so, the Applicant did what bureaucracies fear most: she documented everything.

When law arrived, it wore linen. F Chambers Attorneys-at-Law entered the stage with the politeness of a colonial solicitor and the precision of a scalpel.
Their correspondence reveals the first breach — the inaugural act of administrative gaslighting that would later echo across an ocean.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That “non-engagement” was a fiction before Westminster ever wrote its script.
• That disclosure failure is a contagion — it migrates, mutates, and survives jurisdictional transfer.
• That safeguarding misuse has a lineage: from Grand Turk to Greater London, stitched together by the same moral fabric of misplaced authority.
• That every modern procedural abuse has an ancestor, and she lives in these letters.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because every pattern has an origin.
The Origin Dress is the founding garment in SWANK’s transnational wardrobe — the template for ten years of systemic repetition.
Before the Duty Inbox, before the Equality Act breaches, before the velvet contempt of Westminster correspondence, there was this: a parent denied access to her own record, a child rendered hypothetical by paperwork.

SWANK logs this piece not merely for nostalgia, but as historical evidence of continuity — proof that bureaucratic misconduct is a cultural export.

IV. Violations

• Constitutional due process – Denial of procedural fairness and natural justice.
• Data Protection and Disclosure principles – Withholding of case records, reports, and care plans.
• Safeguarding protocol misuse – Filing of an irregular supervision order without factual basis.
• Professional negligence – Failure to notify, document, or substantiate risk before intervention.
• Emergent pattern of retaliation – Institutional behaviour later replicated by Westminster and RBKC.

V. SWANK’s Position

The Origin Dress is not nostalgia; it is indictment.
It proves that harm can be hereditary when transmitted through systems.
This witness statement is the textile record of a pattern that crossed borders and evolved into Westminster’s procedural couture.
The same seams. The same silence. The same arrogance dressed in administrative tone.

SWANK therefore classifies the Origin Dress as a foundational artifact of transnational maladministration, a relic of polite oppression and a mirror through which the United Kingdom may one day see its reflection.

⟡ The Inclusion Ensemble — in Procedural Velvet ⟡

Download PDF: 2025-10-13_Core_Westminster_InclusionEnsemble.pdf
Summary: The definitive April 2025 PLO correspondence series — eleven garments of procedural proof, hand-stitched from discrimination, retaliation, and cultural omission.

I. What Happened

In the spring of 2025, Westminster Children’s Services mistook compliance for rebellion.
They called meetings; the mother responded in writing.
They called it silence.
Each email, agenda, and attachment — lawful, timely, immaculately formatted — was met with disdain disguised as diligence.

While Westminster rehearsed participation as spectacle, the Applicant delivered it as literature.
Where they demanded performance, she delivered documentation — the one thing they could neither interpret nor control.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That lawful written communication is participation, not disobedience.
• That the Equality Act 2010 is not a costume to be worn when convenient.
• That cultural representation and disability access are not decorative accessories to policy.
• That a mother may be silenced in meetings, yet immortalised in correspondence.

This ensemble is not a plea; it is an inventory of every procedural thread Westminster has pulled too tightly.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because exclusion has a style, and Westminster has perfected it.
In the PLO wardrobe, discrimination drapes itself in politeness, and retaliation hides behind safeguarding.
Each exhibit in this witness statement is a hemline of endurance — an artefact of lawful composure under administrative siege.

SWANK logs The Inclusion Ensemble not as a grievance, but as an aesthetic — the art of responding elegantly to institutional chaos.

IV. Violations

• Equality Act 2010 – ss.20, 21, 149: Failure to provide lawful adjustments.
• Human Rights Act 1998 – Articles 6 & 8: Denial of procedural fairness and family participation.
• Children Act 1989 – s.22(4): Exclusion of cultural, linguistic, and paternal rights.
• CPR PD 1A – Ignored statutory participation accommodations.
• Data Protection Act 2018 – Omission and misrepresentation of lawful correspondence.

V. SWANK’s Position

The PLO was never a plan — it was a performance.
The Applicant did not refuse to participate; she refused to perform illness for an audience of bureaucrats.
Each exhibit in The Inclusion Ensemble is a pattern piece of procedural couture — measured, bound, and finished with judicial grace.

SWANK therefore declares that Westminster’s PLO was unlawful in structure and decadent in tone.
If procedure were fabric, this would be over-stitched, fraying at the seams, and entirely unfit for lawful wear.
