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.
