Summary

In a judgment dated 30 December 2021, the Qatar International Court's Appellate Division refused Mr. Abdulla's permission to appeal against a ruling that mandated him to pay Business Box Consultancy LLC QAR 20,000. The dispute arose from a contract for a feasibility study, which concluded the proposed copper plant was not feasible, leading to the Qatar Development Bank's refusal to finance the project. Mr. Abdulla's appeal, based on the court's refusal to appoint an expert and alleged failure to examine his defense, was dismissed as both grounds lacked merit. The court emphasized the necessity of raising the need for expert evidence during initial proceedings.
