Summary

In a case at the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP successfully claimed QAR 85,140 in costs from Harinsa Contracting Company (Qatar) WLL. The court found in favor of the claimant due to the defendant's non-engagement with the process. The claimant's costs, covering various legal services and enforcement proceedings, were assessed and deemed reasonable by the registrar. The court highlighted factors such as proportionality and the conduct of parties in determining the reasonableness of costs, ultimately reducing some claimed hours but approving a total of QAR 94,140 for the claimant.
