UK Solicitor Rebecca Hume Under Criminal Investigation Amid Multi-Jurisdictional Allegations
UK attorney Rebecca Hume faces serious criminal allegations connecting a London High Court case to proceedings in Antigua & Barbuda.
In a shocking development, UK solicitor Rebecca Hume, associated with Howard Kennedy LLP, has been implicated in a grave criminal referral which spans across jurisdictions including the UK and Antigua & Barbuda. This referral, initiated by Ambassador-at-Large for the Green Economy Alkiviades David in relation to the case Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David (KB-2025-001991), charges Hume with serious offenses including assault, perverting the course of justice, conspiracy, and harassment against a disabled individual.
The allegations outlined in the referral cover incidents dating back to July 25, 2025, when David purportedly experienced a physical assault within the Royal Courts of Justice during a contentious legal action. The charges further assert that there were deliberate efforts to obstruct vital evidence and interfere with court proceedings. Such interference allegedly extended to economic coercion aimed at freezing David's last available funds, alongside suppression of public access to court documents without an appropriate sealing order.
Moreover, David claims that his wrongful arrest at Hammersmith Police Station in early August was a retaliatory move spurred by his litigation efforts. He expressed grave concerns that this series of events marks not merely isolated incidents, but rather a systematic pattern of abuse that threatens the integrity of the legal systems in both the UK and Antigua & Barbuda.
“With these accusations, urgent investigations need to be conducted to uphold the rule of law,” David stated, underscoring the potential ramifications of the alleged misconduct. The connection between the UK High Court proceedings and the Antigua Supreme Court case draws the attention of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, implicating a larger network of legal and financial misconduct across these jurisdictions.
In response to these claims, the referral seeks immediate police investigation measures, including securing CCTV footage from the Royal Courts of Justice and conducting witness interviews. It also calls for regulatory actions by the Solicitors Regulation Authority against Hume and her law firm, as well as a coordinated investigation by the Antigua & Barbuda Police in conjunction with UK authorities. The referral is bolstered by a comprehensive timeline and an evidence schedule that points to further allegations of misconduct since the summer of 2025.
As this case unfolds, the legal community watches closely for its implications on governance and justice in both territories.
