Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Court dismissed Sharq Insurance LLC’s jurisdiction challenge in an insurance claim brought by Nasser Bin Khaled Al Thani & Sons. The claimant seeks QAR 2.3 million for fire-damaged equipment and QAR 1 million in compensation. The Court held that Law No. 21 of 2021, establishing the Investment and Trade Court, did not displace its jurisdiction over contracts between QFC entities and entities outside the QFC. Sharq must file its defence within 14 days and pay the challenge’s reasonable costs. The claim’s merits remain undecided.
