Summary

In the Qatar International Court, the case CTFIC0037/2022 involved Meghna Anand, a former employee, suing Meinhardt BIM Studios LLC for unpaid remuneration. The court ordered the defendant to pay QAR 16,311.00 plus 5% annual interest from April 28, 2022, until payment is made. The claimant is also entitled to recover reasonable costs incurred in pursuing the claim. This case is the ninth similar claim against the defendant by former employees. The court noted the defendant's pattern of delaying payments, causing financial hardship to its employees. The claimant represented herself, and the defendant was unrepresented.
