The Cotter’s Court Matter: A Whistleblower’s Struggle Against a Corrupt Legal System

In an alarming account, businessman and whistleblower Alkiviades David shares his ongoing ordeal in The Cotter’s Court Matter, detailing wrongful arrests and media defamation while calling for accountability in the justice system.

For years, I have been shackled by the weight of false accusations, harassment, and procedural abuse in a case that has exposed the darker side of the British legal framework. My name is Alkiviades David, a businessman and media entrepreneur, currently embroiled in The Cotter’s Court Matter (Mahim Khan v. David, KB-2025-001991). Allegations against me remain unsubstantiated, yet I find myself entangled in a web of lies that continually resurfaces, rendering the truth virtually invisible.

This struggle transcends my individual experience; it underscores a grave issue: the manipulation of justice to safeguard powerful interests entangled in corruption and various forms of exploitation.

My ordeal began on 21 August 2025, when police officers and locksmiths invaded my residence in Wilton Place, London—raising the Antiguan flag. As someone with a severe traumatic brain injury, I received no prior notice, leading to a public and humiliating display of power led by Judge Cotter.

The media has also played a critical role in shaping a defamatory narrative about me. Outlets like CBS and CNET propagated the grotesque label of “$900 million rapist,” a designation that has found its way into sensational headlines without a shred of evidence. Subsequent investigations disproving these allegations have been met with silence; no retractions or apologies have been issued. Meanwhile, when I attempted to expose wrongdoing by these media outlets, they responded swiftly with legal threats rather than addressing the truth.

Adding insult to injury, I have suffered physical assault in a courtroom by AJ Foulnellier, a name I wish to have removed from these proceedings. This attack occurred amidst legal discussions, highlighting the appalling state of safety and integrity within our courts. Such violence is indicative of a broader corruption that seeks to intimidate whistleblowers, diminishing our access to fair legal recourse.

Despite presenting overwhelming evidence of procedural misconduct, the Court has engaged in pathologically cruel behavior. My requests, including basic subsistence support, have been ignored while I find myself subjected to continuous harassment from Howard Kennedy LLP—solicitors who propagate lies despite knowing their falsity.

This issue has moved beyond personal grievances; it raises fundamental questions regarding the integrity of national and international judicial systems. The abuse of police powers and court authority to shield corruption instead of addressing it is a slippery slope that must be addressed. Furthermore, the enforcement actions occurred against a property bearing the Antiguan flag, violating diplomatic protocols established through the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961).

I urge regulatory bodies, including the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office and the Solicitors Regulation Authority, to initiate investigations into the conduct of Judge Cotter, his secretary June Morgan, and Howard Kennedy LLP. It is imperative that British justice does not become a theatre of falsehoods but remains an arena for truth and accountability. If the courts fail to act, I will seek justice through public discourse and advocacy at the highest political levels.
