Summary

In a judgment dated 11 November 2024, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court dismissed the claims of Mohammed Amin Hamza against Masters Business Consultancy LLC. Hamza sought a non-objection certificate (NOC) to transfer sponsorship to Mavericks Business Consultancy WLL and claimed damages for lost opportunities and legal fees. The Court found that, under Qatari labor reforms of 2020, an NOC was not required for transferring employment sponsorship to a non-QFC entity. The decision emphasized that post-2020, the former employer has no role in the sponsorship transfer process, rendering Hamza's claims invalid.
