Counsel for the Attorney General\u2019s Chambers confirmed awareness of filings by Mr. David but stated they had not yet reviewed the specific submissions in detail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMr. David explained that his recent filing did not introduce new evidence<\/strong>, but consisted of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Service receipts<\/strong> demonstrating service on defendants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A note to the Court<\/strong> addressing comity between parallel proceedings in California and London<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-filed documents submitted at the clerk\u2019s suggestion<\/strong>, after earlier filings had not been properly received<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe Court then turned to the Attorney General\u2019s position<\/strong>. Counsel for the AG confirmed that their provisional view<\/strong> was that the Court lacked jurisdiction<\/strong>, relying in part on principles from Spiliada Maritime Corporation v Cansulex Ltd<\/em>. The AG\u2019s submissions emphasized:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most defendants reside outside Antigua & Barbuda<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Claims are not clearly governed by Antiguan law<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insufficient factual connection between alleged conduct and the jurisdiction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practical difficulties and costs given overseas defendants and witnesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unclear pleading of causes of action under the CPR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams observed that, based on the material reviewed, physical presence in Antigua appeared limited<\/strong>, aside from possible property ownership by one or two individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mr. David\u2019s Response<\/h3>\n\n\n\nMr. David responded that physical presence was not determinative<\/strong> of jurisdiction. He argued that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conduct and harm occurred within Antigua & Barbuda<\/strong>, including reputational and economic damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Alpha Nero yacht<\/strong>, previously adjudicated by this Court, was physically present in Antigua for over a year and formed part of the alleged conspiracy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foreign corporations broadcast into Antigua and the Caribbean<\/strong>, causing harm locally<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sovereign programs and investments connected to Antigua were deliberately targeted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parallel proceedings abroad demonstrated coordinated misconduct, not a lack of jurisdiction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams clarified that, for the limited purpose of the jurisdiction analysis<\/strong>, he was prepared to proceed on the assumption that Mr. David\u2019s pleaded facts were true<\/strong>, but remained concerned that the consequences of the alleged harm appeared to be felt primarily where Mr. David resided<\/strong>, rather than necessarily in Antigua.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Court raised the risk of inconsistent rulings<\/strong> between Antigua, California, and the UK. Mr. David responded that Antigua was the anchor jurisdiction<\/strong>, arguing it was the only forum not compromised by the alleged misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Howard Kennedy Letter Raised by the Court<\/h3>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams then disclosed that he had received a letter dated January 7, 2026 from Howard Kennedy LLP<\/strong>, a UK law firm. The letter asserted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Howard Kennedy and its partners deny the jurisdiction<\/strong> of the Antiguan court<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They would not participate<\/strong> in the January 16 hearing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their involvement was limited to UK enforcement proceedings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe Judge stated he would formally circulate the letter<\/strong> to both parties, noting he could not receive such correspondence without placing it on the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMr. David asserted that Howard Kennedy had been served twice<\/strong>, that their non-participation amounted to contempt<\/strong>, and that relevant authorities in the UK were aware of the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams indicated that the letter would be placed on file and considered as part of the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams thanked both parties for their submissions and stated that he would consider all materials carefully<\/strong>. The Registrar would issue a written ruling on jurisdiction early the following month<\/strong>, determining the way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Court then rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

Counsel for the Attorney General\u2019s Chambers confirmed awareness of filings by Mr. David but stated they had not yet reviewed the specific submissions in detail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMr. David explained that his recent filing did not introduce new evidence<\/strong>, but consisted of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Service receipts<\/strong> demonstrating service on defendants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A note to the Court<\/strong> addressing comity between parallel proceedings in California and London<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-filed documents submitted at the clerk\u2019s suggestion<\/strong>, after earlier filings had not been properly received<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe Court then turned to the Attorney General\u2019s position<\/strong>. Counsel for the AG confirmed that their provisional view<\/strong> was that the Court lacked jurisdiction<\/strong>, relying in part on principles from Spiliada Maritime Corporation v Cansulex Ltd<\/em>. The AG\u2019s submissions emphasized:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most defendants reside outside Antigua & Barbuda<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Claims are not clearly governed by Antiguan law<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insufficient factual connection between alleged conduct and the jurisdiction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practical difficulties and costs given overseas defendants and witnesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unclear pleading of causes of action under the CPR<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams observed that, based on the material reviewed, physical presence in Antigua appeared limited<\/strong>, aside from possible property ownership by one or two individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mr. David\u2019s Response<\/h3>\n\n\n\nMr. David responded that physical presence was not determinative<\/strong> of jurisdiction. He argued that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conduct and harm occurred within Antigua & Barbuda<\/strong>, including reputational and economic damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Alpha Nero yacht<\/strong>, previously adjudicated by this Court, was physically present in Antigua for over a year and formed part of the alleged conspiracy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-209667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/alpha.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foreign corporations broadcast into Antigua and the Caribbean<\/strong>, causing harm locally<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sovereign programs and investments connected to Antigua were deliberately targeted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parallel proceedings abroad demonstrated coordinated misconduct, not a lack of jurisdiction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams clarified that, for the limited purpose of the jurisdiction analysis<\/strong>, he was prepared to proceed on the assumption that Mr. David\u2019s pleaded facts were true<\/strong>, but remained concerned that the consequences of the alleged harm appeared to be felt primarily where Mr. David resided<\/strong>, rather than necessarily in Antigua.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Court raised the risk of inconsistent rulings<\/strong> between Antigua, California, and the UK. Mr. David responded that Antigua was the anchor jurisdiction<\/strong>, arguing it was the only forum not compromised by the alleged misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Howard Kennedy Letter Raised by the Court<\/h3>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams then disclosed that he had received a letter dated January 7, 2026 from Howard Kennedy LLP<\/strong>, a UK law firm. The letter asserted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Howard Kennedy and its partners deny the jurisdiction<\/strong> of the Antiguan court<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They would not participate<\/strong> in the January 16 hearing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Their involvement was limited to UK enforcement proceedings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe Judge stated he would formally circulate the letter<\/strong> to both parties, noting he could not receive such correspondence without placing it on the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMr. David asserted that Howard Kennedy had been served twice<\/strong>, that their non-participation amounted to contempt<\/strong>, and that relevant authorities in the UK were aware of the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams indicated that the letter would be placed on file and considered as part of the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\nJustice Williams thanked both parties for their submissions and stated that he would consider all materials carefully<\/strong>. The Registrar would issue a written ruling on jurisdiction early the following month<\/strong>, determining the way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Court then rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
