Criminal Referral Links UK Solicitor to Allegations of Misconduct in Antigua Proceedings
Rebecca Hume of Howard Kennedy LLP is under investigation for serious allegations in a high-profile case tying London and Antigua & Barbuda.
In a dramatic escalation of legal controversies, UK solicitor Rebecca Hume, affiliated with Howard Kennedy LLP, has been implicated in a multifaceted criminal referral that raises serious concerns of misconduct in both the UK and Antigua & Barbuda. The referral, lodged by Alkiviades David, who is embroiled in a contentious legal battle – Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David (KB-2025-001991) – has drawn the attention of numerous law enforcement and legal regulatory bodies.
The incidents in question largely relate to events on 25 July 2025, when David alleges that he was physically assaulted within the Royal Courts of Justice during the service of a Contempt Application. The allegations extend further, asserting that Hume engaged in obstruction of evidence and agency in wrongful arrest, among other complaints of unethical legal conduct.
The referral has been formally submitted to various organizations, including the Metropolitan Police Service, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and corresponding authorities in Antigua & Barbuda. David has characterized the alleged actions as part of a coordinated scheme aimed at disrupting justice and integrity of court proceedings, undermining the rule of law on both sides of the Atlantic.
Key allegations delineated in the referral encompass:
- Assault at the Royal Courts of Justice during legal proceedings.
- Perpetuation of economic coercion by freezing funds.
- Suppression of access to judicial processes without appropriate legal justification.
- Involvement in a wider conspiracy implicating various entities to subvert the legal system, notably a case pending before the Antigua & Barbuda Supreme Court.
David’s call for urgent investigation emphasizes the severity of the reported actions, emphasizing the interaction between the two jurisdictions that ultimately link through appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Immediate actions requested include comprehensive police investigations, securing crucial evidence, regulatory scrutiny against Hume, and a cooperative inquiry between the UK and Antigua & Barbuda law enforcement.
The referral includes an extensive outline of events and evidence, indicating a troubling pattern of behavior that David insists cannot be overlooked. Amid growing scrutiny, the legal community remains watchful regarding the unfolding investigations and their potential ramifications on both legal landscapes.
