Summary

In the judgment issued on October 4, 2026, by the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, the court declared the transfer of shares in company K from L to N invalid due to material misrepresentation, violating article 132(1) of the QFC Companies Regulations 2005. Consequently, the approval of this transfer by the QFC Companies Registration Office was nullified, and the QFC Public Register was ordered to revert to its previous state, listing L as the sole shareholder of K. The court extended an injunction and mandated K to cover J's legal costs. This litigation stems from J's attempts to enforce substantial arbitration awards against companies connected with K.
