Abdulla Jasim Al Tamimi v Qatar Financial Centre Authority, Qatar Finance and Business Academy LLC and Abdulla Jasim Al Tamimi v Employment Standards Office

JUDGMENT

Introduction

1. On 24 January 2019 the Appellate Divisio-n of the Court (Lord Thomas, President, Justices Al Sayed and Blair) issued its judgment in relation to costs ('the Judgment'). The Judgment followed an earlier judgment of the Appellate Division (differently constituted) which refused an Application seeking Permission to Appeal a judgment of the First Instance Circuit of the Court but allowed an Application seeking Permission to Appeal a Decision of the Regulatory Tribunal, albeit dismissing the substantive appeal.

2. The Judgment awarded the First Respondents their reasonable costs but limited these to those costs which related to proceedings before the First Instance Circuit. The Second Respondent did not seek its costs and there was no order as to costs in respect of the proceedings before the Appellate Division.
