Summary

In a judgment dated June 11, 2023, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court directed Devisers Advisory Services LLC to repay Manan Jain QAR 33,000 within 14 days, without an order for costs. Jain had paid this fee for his wife’s UK Entrepreneur Visa, but due to her medical condition, she could not emigrate, making the visa unnecessary. The court found the contract voidable due to mistake and force majeure, as the medical condition was unforeseen. The minimal services rendered by the Defendant did not warrant retaining any portion of the fee. Both parties were self-represented.
