Summary
The Qatar International Court dismissed the claim brought by Hanan Al-Ghais against AXA Insurance GIG Gulf. The claimant sought to renew her health insurance policy at a lower price, alleging a previous agreement to reduce the premium. The court found that the claim lacked legal representation and clarity, leading to a protracted case. AXA contested the court's jurisdiction, suggesting internal resolution or arbitration. Ultimately, the court ruled it lacked jurisdiction, noting the insurance agreement's arbitration clause, and determined no further hearings were necessary. No order for costs was made.
