Nasser Al-Ali Enterprises WLL v Gulf Insurance Group BSC

This case involved liability to pay an employer who had taken out insurance against the death or occupational injuries of their employers after one of the employees was killed in a road traffic accident. The employer had paid the heir compensation in a Qatari labour case. The heirs took action in the QICDRC courts against the insurer and they agreed a settlement agreement. The key issue was whether this settlement agreement and direct payment to the heirs meant money was not due to the employer.
