Solicitor Rebecca Hume Faces International Criminal Referral Linked to Serious Allegations
A multi-jurisdictional criminal referral has emerged, connecting UK solicitor Rebecca Hume to severe claims of misconduct across jurisdictions.
The referral details accusations that include a physical assault that allegedly occurred within the Royal Courts of Justice on July 25, 2025. David claims that during an application hearing, Hume engaged in actions that thwarted the submission of critical evidence and obstructed court processes. Furthermore, it is alleged that there was economic coercion involved, specifically the freezing of David's available funds, alongside attempts to suppress public access to case details.
Compounding these allegations are claims of interference with a related Supreme Court case in Antigua, where Hume and her firm are allegedly connected to a broader conspiracy, involving various parties including media and financial institutions, in facilitating the exploitation of children.
The referral also points to a wrongful arrest that took place at Hammersmith Police Station in early August 2025, which is described by David as retaliatory. He emphasizes the concerning nature of these events, 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.”
This entire matter draws a significant connection between the UK High Court proceedings and those in Antigua, both of which can be appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, establishing a direct legal relationship between the two courts.
As part of the referral, several actions have been requested, including prompt police investigations to secure crucial CCTV footage and witness testimonies, regulatory measures by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) against Hume and her firm, and collaborative efforts between the Antigua & Barbuda Police and UK authorities to explore the allegations thoroughly.
The document accompanying the referral lays out a detailed timeline of the alleged misconduct since July 25, 2025, and provides an evidence schedule that encompasses pertinent UK court records, witness statements, and details from Antigua’s sovereign case.
