Summary

In a judgment issued on 11 January 2026 by Mr. Umar Azmeh, Registrar at the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, the Respondent was ordered to pay the Applicant QAR 101,001 in legal costs. The case originated when the Respondent failed to honor an arbitral award of QAR 1,700,000, leading the Applicant to enforce the award through court proceedings. The assessment of costs was conducted according to Article 34 of the Court's Rules and Procedures, considering factors like proportionality, conduct of parties, and efforts to resolve the dispute without litigation. The court dismissed the Respondent's arguments against the costs and confirmed the jurisdiction and validity of the proceedings.
