HKA Global Limited v Obayashi HBK JV and Conspel Qatar WLL

This dispute involved additional payments due under a contracting contract. QFC entities were involved. A key issue was whether the QICDRC courts should have jurisdiction. The parties had originally litigated in the Qatari courts where there had been a first instance ruling but at appeal it had been ruled the Qatari courts lacked jurisdiction. A Qatar Court of Cassation judgment had also been issued.
