Summary

In a case before the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, claimant Mark Krombas sued Epicure Investment Management LLC for an unpaid annual bonus of QAR 300,000. The defendant applied for summary judgment, arguing that the claim had no prospect of success due to lack of contractual provision and the discretionary nature of bonuses. The court, however, dismissed the application, noting that the claimant's argument based on implied terms and past practices could potentially succeed. The defendant was granted leave to amend its defense, and costs of the application were deferred for later determination.
