Allegations against Rebecca Hume include assault and conspiracy, connecting UK high-profile legal disputes with criminal actions in Antigua and Barbuda.
In a significant development, UK solicitor Rebecca Hume of Howard Kennedy LLP has been formally named in a multi-jurisdictional criminal referral, as allegations swirl around her involvement in severe misconduct. The referral, submitted by Alkiviades David, the defendant in the ongoing case of Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David (KB-2025-001991) as well as the Ambassador-at-Large for the Green Economy for Antigua & Barbuda, raises serious concerns ranging from assault to conspiracy and harassment.
The claims were officially submitted to various authorities including the Metropolitan Police Service, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and the Attorney General of Antigua & Barbuda, indicating the escalating ramifications of the case that links jurisdictions across the Atlantic.
Central to the accusations is a physical assault incident in the Royal Courts of Justice on July 25, 2025, during an attempted service of contempt application. Allegations further extend to obstruction of evidence, economic coercion through freezing of funds belonging to David, and a supression of public access to case materials.
David argues that these actions represent a concerted effort to manipulate the legal process, 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.” He calls for urgent investigations into these alleged misconducts.
The referral not only emphasizes the complexities involved but also notes that both the UK High Court case and the proceedings in the Antigua Supreme Court will eventually fall under the scrutiny of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, signifying a crucial legal relationship between the two jurisdictions.
Among the requested actions in the referral is an immediate police investigation to gather CCTV footage and security logs from the Royal Courts of Justice, which suggests a thorough inquiry is warranted. Additionally, it seeks regulatory actions against Hume and her firm, as well as collaborations with Antiguan authorities for a comprehensive investigation.
The referral also includes an extensive chronology of alleged misconduct, as well as an evidence schedule that outlines the connections between the UK court materials and the ongoing sovereign proceedings in Antigua.
As the situation develops, it sets a precedent for how alleged abuses within the legal system can reverberate across international borders.
