DG v Play Rivals Gaming LLC
CTFIC0051/2026
Neutral Citation
[2026] QIC (C) 10
Date
01 November 2026
Status
Registrar
Dr. Umar Azmeh
Summary
On 1 November 2026, the Qatar Financial Centre Court ordered Play Rivals Gaming LLC to pay claimant DG QAR 1,500 in costs within seven days. DG, represented by a litigation guardian, sought QAR 15,600 for 78 hours after winning approximately QAR 300. The defendant opposed any costs award, questioning the claimed hours and possible AI assistance. Registrar Dr Umar Azmeh considered 15 hours at QAR 200 reasonable but reduced the resulting QAR 3,000 by 50% for proportionality, given the straightforward, low-value dispute and absence of external legal fees.
