Summary
In a case before the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, claimant Waqar Zaman sought unpaid wages and other emoluments from his former employer, Meinhardt BIM Studios LLC (First Defendant), and linked company Meinhardt (Singapore) PTE (Second Defendant). The court ruled in favor of Zaman regarding his monetary claims, ordering the First Defendant to pay QAR 612,000 plus interest and costs, but dismissed his claims for damages due to stress. The court upheld its jurisdiction over the matter despite the Second Defendant’s objections and found no merit in their defense of waiver based on alleged email agreements.
