Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court refused the Defendant/Applicant's request to reschedule the hearing set for 19 and 20 August 2026. The court emphasized its practice of scheduling hearings based on judges' availability, not parties' preferences, due to judges' busy schedules. The Defendant/Applicant argued for counsel availability and an expert witness's vacation but the court prioritized the timely resolution of the case, which began in November 2025. The court highlighted that delays would be unfair to the Claimant and noted past instances of the Defendant seeking extensions, which could lead to further postponement.
