Summary

The Qatar International Court, led by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, Justice Bruce Robertson, and Justice Helen Mountfield QC, ruled on an appeal by Prime Financial Solutions LLC against the Qatar Financial Centre Employment Standards Office. The appeal focused on whether two employees acted in good faith as whistleblowers. The court allowed the appeal on this issue but refused it on other grounds. Despite Prime Financial Solutions' partial success, the court decided there would be no order as to costs, considering the overall circumstances and conduct of the parties. Both parties were encouraged to agree on penalties, failing which the Regulatory Tribunal would decide.
