Summary
The QFC Appellate Court refused a company’s application to appeal a jurisdiction ruling and ordered it to pay costs. A German bank in liquidation sued the QFC company over alleged unlawful share transfers. The company argued that article 133 of the QFC Companies Regulations, as secondary legislation, could not confer jurisdiction beyond the QFC Law. The Court affirmed jurisdiction, discussing the legislature’s intention to establish a comprehensive QFC legal regime. Separately, the First Instance Court had found a material misrepresentation and declared the share transfer void.
