Date
21 September 2026
Status
Registrar
Dr. Umar Azmeh
Summary
The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court ruled that Gulf Insurance Group must pay Aljaber Engineering Company QAR 47,005 within 7 days. This follows an appellate decision on 15 February 2026, which overturned a default judgment in favor of Gulf Insurance due to improper service of the claim. Gulf Insurance was directed to cover all proceeding costs. Disputes arose over the quantum of costs, with Gulf Insurance contesting the legitimacy and amount of the Defendant's claimed costs. The court assessed various factors, including proportionality, conduct, and reasonable costs, concluding the Defendant's legal support expenses were valid.
