A Claimant – whose business was providing expert and advisory services in the construction sector – contracted with the Defendant to assist it in the management of its construction contract claims for various building projects in Doha. The agreement between the parties set out the services to be rendered and the sums that the Defendant was required to pay. However, despite various payments being made, there remained a significant sum outstanding, namely QAR 355,857.06. 4. As in another recent case involving the same Claimant, the Defendant was now in liquidation which complicated matters. The First Instance Circuit addressed those matters in paragraphs 7-9 of its judgment. Except o complain by email on 6 April 2024 that the original claim documentation served upon it was in English, the Defendant chose neither to engage with the substantive proceedings nor these costs proceedings. The Claimant was claiming a total of QAR 50,194 by way of its reasonable costs.
