QFC 12/2020 issued on 26/7/2020; [2020] QIC (A) 3

Aycan Richards v International Financial Services Qatar LLC

This case involved a request for permission to appeal from [2020] QIC (F) 9 which was a case involving the need for an employer to reissue documents to support an immigration sponsorship transfer of a former employee where the documents had been issue but the immigration authorities had requested resupply due to a change of process because of COVID-19. A request by the employer to be able to provide additional evidence which it had not been able to do at first instance because of the speed of the proceedings was made along with a claim that the individual who had represented the employer had lacked the authority to do so.

Background

In a written application made on 23 July 2020, the Applicant (IFSQ) sought permission to appeal from the decision of the First Instance Circuit  given on 20 July 2020 which had ordered IFSQ to reissue to the Respondent to this application and the claimant before the First Instance Circuit (Aycan Richards) a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) letter and all support documentation to facilitate her transfer of sponsorship which was originally issued by IFSQ. The matter was very urgent.
