CEO MESSAGE

First, I would like to thank all the health personnel and everyone working on the frontlines who have endeavoured to provide the best health services and care since the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and whom we have to thank, after God, for curbing the spread of the virus.

At QICDRC, we sought to ensure that the judicial services provided during the exceptional circumstances arising from the spread of COVID-19 would not be affected. The Court continued to provide all of its services and held all hearings without interruption. Throughout the past few months, we all have remained committed to the delivery of timely judgments following a fair and cost-effective procedure, and have continued to expand our services. Regardless of our challenging circumstances, we have remained committed to the vision of our court and began offering the Pro Bono Service. We have also ensured that the rule of law is maintained and justice becomes accessible for all; a tremendous achievement by the QICDRC staff who have risen to the challenge, proved their competence in dealing with such circumstances, and showed flexibility in facilitating dispute resolution services.

Our specialist electronic case management system (e-Court), was the best and optimal option for all users to file claims, appeals and other miscellaneous applications online, and follow up on their proceedings. This is in addition to attending sessions remotely and without the need to personally come to the Court’s premises, which contributed to maintaining the continuity of the judicial process without interruption or delay. We look forward to continuing to provide world-class legal services in Qatar, and on behalf of the Qatar International Court team, we wish you health and safety.

- Faisal Al-Sahouti, CEO
