Summary

In a ruling dated May 12, 2022, the Qatar International Court, presided over by Justices Bruce Robertson, Arthur Hamilton, and Helen Mountfield QC, addressed two interconnected cases involving Adil Bashir Ahmed and 360 Nautica LLC. The Court rejected Nautica's challenge to its jurisdiction in the first case, which will proceed to trial. The Court also struck out both the claim and counterclaim in the second case. The disputes center around unpaid salary claims by Ahmed and breach of an Undertaking Letter by Ahmed, with Nautica alleging violations of non-solicitation obligations. The Court distinguished the case from a previous ruling (_Al Tamimi_) and emphasized the applicability of principles against unreasonable restraint of trade.
