QFCRT 001/2014

International Legal Consultants LLC v QFC Companies Registration Office

26 October 2014

Signed by: Christopher Grout, Acting Registrar of the QFC Regulatory Tribunal on behalf of the Tribunal

Introduction

1. This is the first appeal against a decision of the QFC Companies Registration Office ("CRO") to be heard by this Tribunal. There is no dispute as to our jurisdiction; under Article 8(2)(c) of the QFC Law No 7/2005, as amended, this Tribunal's jurisdiction covers appeals against decisions of the QFCA, the Regulatory Authority and "other QFC institutions", of which the CRO is undoubtedly one.
