Summary

Claire Holloway, a South African residing in Qatar, sued MBG Corporate Services LLC over an employment contract dispute. The court ruled that MBG must pay Holloway QAR 6,586 and Holloway must cover 50% of MBG’s legal costs. Holloway’s claims included salary arrears, deductions, medical expenses, unused leave, and emotional damages. Some claims were already settled, while MBG justified salary deductions based on its policy. However, the court found these deductions unauthorized as the relevant Handbook was not provided to Holloway, thus not incorporated into her contract.
