Summary
The Qatar Financial Centre Court ordered Qatar Building Company to pay DWF LLP QAR 4,147,277 for 38 unpaid legal-fee invoices, plus 5% annual simple interest accruing one month after each invoice’s date. Payment is due within 21 days, less QAR 20 in nominal damages awarded to QBC.

It permitted anonymisation of third parties and arbitration details but refused to seal the proceedings.
