Summary
The Qatar International Court's First Instance Circuit assessed the Claimant's reasonable costs at QAR 1,400, to be paid by the Defendant. The Claimant had previously won a judgment for QAR 33,000 plus interest for unpaid salary but had some claims dismissed. The Defendant's appeal was rejected. The Claimant sought costs based on his professional day rate, while the Defendant argued these were unreasonable. The court considered the appropriate basis for calculating costs for a litigant in person, referencing rules from other jurisdictions but found no explicit provision in its own rules. Ultimately, the court awarded the Claimant QAR 1,400.
