Summary

Ahmed Al-Khateeb, a retail customer of Nexus Financial Services in Qatar, appealed a decision dismissing his claims regarding unsuitable investment advice provided by Nexus in 2017. The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court Appellate Division granted permission to appeal on one ground, resulting in an order for Nexus to pay Al-Khateeb $175,634.50 in damages and cover his legal costs. Nexus, authorized only for insurance mediation, was found to have failed regulatory duties under COBR regarding "know your customer" and suitability of advice. The case highlighted deficiencies in Nexus' conduct and regulatory compliance.
