Norris Ghaleb Qtaishat v DWF LLP (QFC Branch)

This case involved a request that the court order an employer to issue a non-objection certificate for a former non-Qatari national employee which had been requested by the customs authorities before they would allow the employee to leave the country with his personal possessions. The employer had refused to issue such a certificate unless the employee signed a settlement agreement which they did not wish to do. Other issues covered included the court's jurisdiction and costs.
