Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court dismissed Mohamed Abdulaziz Mohamed Ali El-Emadi's application to remove Opus Restructuring LLP as liquidators of Horizon Crescent Wealth LLC (HCW). The Court found procedural defects in the application and noted the liquidator, Ms. Joanne Rolls, was effectively managing the liquidation with the support of major creditors, despite the applicant's objections. It emphasized that the removal of a liquidator requires substantial grounds, which were not sufficiently established. The Court also noted the necessity of following procedural requirements in future applications.
