UK Solicitor implicated in serious criminal allegations, raising concerns over legal and ethical standards.
UK Solicitor Rebecca Hume of Howard Kennedy LLP has been thrust into the spotlight as a multi-jurisdictional criminal referral has been initiated against her, connecting a London High Court case with ongoing sovereign proceedings in Antigua & Barbuda. The formal referral was filed by Alkiviades David, the Defendent in the case of Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David (KB-2025-001991) and a diplomat representing Antigua & Barbuda's Green Economy.
The referral details several grave allegations including assault during court proceedings, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, harassment of a vulnerable litigant, and wrongful arrest. It has been sent to pertinent authorities including the Metropolitan Police Service, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and both the Attorney General and the Police Force of Antigua & Barbuda.
The allegations date back to an incident on July 25, 2025, when it’s claimed that Hume physically assaulted David at the Royal Courts of Justice. The complaint further alleges systematic obstacles to evidence submissions, coercive actions that resulted in the freezing of David's funds, and the illegal suppression of public access to court documents. A claim of wrongful arrest is also made against Hume, suggesting a retaliatory motive.
David underscored the severity of the situation, stating, “This is not an isolated incident — it’s a coordinated pattern of abuse that undermines the rule of law in both the UK and Antigua & Barbuda.” The pressing nature of the case has led to calls for immediate investigations and accountability.
Both the UK High Court matter and the Antigua Supreme Court case are expected to reach the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, highlighting the intricate legal ties between the two jurisdictions. The referral urges authorities to launch a comprehensive investigation which includes securing case materials, reviewing CCTV footage, and conducting witness interviews.
As this case unfolds, it promises to attract significant attention due to the implications for legal integrity within the involved jurisdictions.
