QFC 016/2018
Oussama Assaad v Nomura International PLC [1]
This case involved a claim for salary and compensation by an employee for both employment in Qatar and Dubai. The Dubai claim was struck out for lack of jurisdiction. A key issue was whether there was an issue with the evidence because of a poor translation of documents and the evidential value of oral evidence. It also considered if the contract had allowed variation of terms.
Background

In that judgment the court dismissed the claim of the Applicant for payment of salary and other compensation in relation to his employment by the Respondent. The Respondent in its submission dated 22 November 2018 contends we should refuse permission.
