Summary

In a judgment dated December 7, 2022, the Qatar International Court ruled in favor of Dalba Engineering & Projects Co Limited against Marilon QFZ LLC. Dalba, a Brazilian company, claimed Marilon, a Qatar Free Zone company, failed to deliver bitumen worth USD 400,000 despite receiving a USD 200,000 advance payment. Marilon neither delivered the goods nor refunded the money. The court ordered Marilon to pay Dalba USD 200,000, with costs to be assessed by the Registrar. The case against the Chairman of the Qatar Authority for Investment Free Zones was dismissed. The claim for additional compensatory damages was also dismissed.
