Summary

In a judgment issued by the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court on March 29, 2026, the court dismissed the Defendant's jurisdictional challenge and ordered the Defendant to pay the Claimant's costs incurred in resisting this challenge. The Claimant, a German bank in liquidation, had initiated action against the Defendant, a QFC-registered holding company, seeking either a reversal of a share transfer or damages equal to debts owed under arbitral awards. The court found that it had jurisdiction based on the QFC Company Regulations and Rules, despite the Defendant's arguments to the contrary.
