Summary

The Qatar International Court delivered a judgment on 23 January 2023 in the case between Bank Audi Company LLC and Abdulla Ahmed Al-Semaitt. The court ruled that the Claim Form was effectively served on the defendant on 13 September 2021. The court granted summary judgment for the claimant, ordering the defendant to pay QAR 7,400,564.90 and an additional QAR 1,453,798.00 as capitalized interest. The claimant is entitled to 9% annual interest on the principal sum until payment and to recover reasonable legal costs. The decision addressed challenges in serving the Claim Form, ultimately validating retrospective non-compliant service due to exceptional circumstances.
