Summary

In a judgment delivered on 30 June 2025, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court Appellate Division allowed the appeal of Devisers Advisory Services LLC against Zishan Anwar. The case involved a dispute over a QAR 35,000 deposit paid by Anwar for visa services, with the First Instance Circuit previously ruling that Devisers should refund QAR 20,000. The Appellate Division found that the First Instance Circuit had erred by considering an offer made by Devisers during settlement discussions, and that the retention of QAR 35,000 was not grossly excessive under QFC Contract Regulations 2005.
