Summary

In a judgment by Justice James Allsop AC at the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, Charles Cross – London LLC was ordered to pay Ahmed Mahmoud Hashim QAR 597,496.20 plus interest and costs. Hashim, an Egyptian interior designer, claimed unpaid salary and other dues from his employment as a "Fit-Out Manager" from August 2021 to September 2023. Despite an increase in his basic salary to QAR 13,000 after a probationary period, Hashim was forced to resign on 30 September 2023 under pressure from his employer. The court dismissed the defendant's counterclaim and awarded costs to Hashim for wrongful filing of a criminal complaint.
