Accomplishments

Obtained a definitive judgment in favor of a client in connection with a blood money claim before the civil court. This judgment has established an important judicial precedent in Qatar. It has set a legal principle by which blood money must be considered punitive rather than compensatory. Accordingly, the civil court decided that it is not judicially competent and referred the case to the competent criminal court.

Recently obtained a definitive judgment in connection with damages compensation for one of the firm’s clients. This judgment included the largest award for moral damages (pain and suffering) in the history of Qatar (QAR 1,500,000).
