Summary

In a judgment by the Qatar International Court, the defendant, The London Language Factory Limited QFC Branch, was ordered to pay the claimant, John Fredy Garcia Hernandez, QAR 24,370 plus interest for wrongful termination of an employment contract. The claimant was employed as a Training Specialist but was dismissed after the defendant's contracts with BAE and BSL were unexpectedly canceled, rendering his position redundant. The court ruled that the termination was justified under clause 11.4.1 of the employment contract, which allowed termination due to changes in business scope.
