Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, presided by Justice Dr. Muna Al-Marzouqi, ruled on 14 February 2024 that Sanguine Investment Managers LLC and Christopher John Leach are in contempt of court for failing to comply with multiple court orders, including payment judgments and disclosure of assets. The case stemmed from a financial dispute and a settlement agreement dated 24 June 2022, which the Respondents failed to honor. Each Respondent must pay a QAR 25,000 penalty and cover the Applicant's reasonable legal costs. The court allowed the hearing to proceed in the absence of the Respondents.
