Summary

In the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, Justice Fritz Brand dismissed both Shamsulislam Arzan Ali's claim and the counterclaim by Devisers Advisory Services LLC regarding a contractual dispute over visa application services. Ali sought repayment for advance payments totaling QAR 40,000 and additional sums, alleging breach of contract by Devisers. Devisers contended they fulfilled their obligations and the delay was due to Portuguese authorities. The court ruled in favor of Devisers, citing contractual provisions and the QFC Contract Regulations on liquidated damages, deeming the advance payment non-refundable due to unwarranted unilateral termination by Ali.
