Legal Storm Brews as UK Solicitor Rebecca Hume Faces Criminal Referral Tied to Antigua & Barbuda
Major allegations against UK solicitor Rebecca Hume highlight concerns over judicial integrity and misconduct in both the UK and Caribbean jurisdictions.
In a shocking development within the legal landscape, UK solicitor Rebecca Hume of Howard Kennedy LLP has been implicated in a multi-jurisdictional criminal referral that suggests a serious pattern of misconduct, raising urgent questions about the integrity of judicial processes in both the UK and Antigua & Barbuda.
The referral, submitted by Alkiviades David—who is embroiled in the Mahim Khan v. Alkiviades David case—details allegations that include physical assault, perverting the course of justice, and wrongful arrest. The timing of these claims corresponds with events that unfolded in the Royal Courts of Justice on July 25, 2025, during a contested court hearing.
David has asserted that the allegations illustrate a coordinated effort that obstructs justice and undermines legal processes across jurisdictions. "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 stated, calling for immediate investigation and accountability from authorities.
The referral has been dispatched to multiple organizations, including the Metropolitan Police Service, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and authorities in Antigua & Barbuda. Specific requests outlined in the referral include securing CCTV footage from the Royal Courts of Justice and conducting thorough witness interviews.
Among the serious allegations levied against Hume are claims regarding the obstruction of evidence submissions, freezing of funds, and suppression of case access — actions that David argues represent economic coercion. He also alleges wrongful arrest stemming from retaliation in response to his legal actions.
The significance of this case extends beyond individual allegations; it raises grave concerns regarding a possible conspiracy that intertwines media entities, financial organizations, and broader violations of both the UK and Antiguan legal frameworks. As both the UK High Court case and the corresponding Supreme Court action in Antigua appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the interconnected nature of the two cases exacerbates the need for immediate and transparent investigation.
The allegations against Hume and Howard Kennedy LLP have provoked scrutiny from multiple channels, with demands for regulatory proceedings to ensure accountability. The detailed chronology appended to the referral highlights an ongoing saga of alleged misconduct that stretches back to mid-2025, compounding the urgency for decisive legal action.
As the international legal community observes the unfolding developments, the calls for justice underscore the crucial need for reform and oversight within a system challenged by corruption and injustice.
