Summary

In a judgment dated April 15, 2024, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court's Appellate Division refused Horizon Crescent Wealth LLC (HCW) permission to appeal against a Winding Up Order issued on January 8, 2024. HCW was ordered to be wound up due to insolvency and regulatory misconduct. The court upheld the original decision, citing insufficient funds to meet debts and unresolved issues regarding asset ownership. HCW's grounds for appeal, including claims of excessive penalties and improper proceedings, were rejected as without merit. The appointment of Joint Liquidators was also affirmed.
