Legal Turmoil: UK Solicitor Rebecca Hume Faces Serious Allegations in Cross-Jurisdiction Case
Rebecca Hume's involvement in criminal proceedings raises alarms over legal practices in the UK and Antigua & Barbuda.
London, UK / St. John’s, Antigua & Barbuda — An explosive legal saga has emerged in which UK solicitor Rebecca Hume of Howard Kennedy LLP is embroiled in serious allegations following a formal criminal referral. The accusations encompass assault, perverting the course of justice, conspiracy, harassment of a disabled litigant, and wrongful arrest.
The referral was submitted by Alkiviades David, the defendant in the pertinent case of Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David (KB-2025-001991), who serves as the Ambassador-at-Large for the Green Economy for the Government of Antigua & Barbuda. A multitude of allegations has surfaced, including an alleged physical assault that transpired within the Royal Courts of Justice on July 25, 2025, during a contentious service of a contempt application.
The referral outlines multiple grievances, such as obstructing evidence submissions, economic manipulation by freezing David’s financial assets, and suppressing public access to case information without an appropriate sealing order. Furthermore, it alleges interference with a claim before the Antigua & Barbuda Supreme Court, involving Howard Kennedy LLP in a larger conspiracy with media and financial entities.
“The unfolding situation suggests a systematic pattern of abuse that jeopardizes the legal integrity of both the UK and Antigua & Barbuda,” stated David. “Immediate and thorough investigations into these matters are imperative.”
Given the interconnected nature of the UK High Court proceedings and those happening in the Antigua Supreme Court, with both ultimately appearing before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, there is a significant legal link between the two jurisdictional cases.
Actions requested in the referral include a prompt police investigation, preservation of CCTV footage and security records from the Royal Courts of Justice, interviews with witnesses, and regulatory actions from the Solicitors Regulation Authority against Hume and Howard Kennedy LLP. Additionally, David has urged a coordination of investigations with the Antigua & Barbuda Police to ensure a comprehensive oversight of the matter.
Included in the referral is a detailed timeline of the alleged misconduct that has been occurring since July 25, 2025, along with supporting evidence such as UK court documentation, witness statements, and records relevant to Antigua's sovereign legal proceedings.
