Summary

In the case of Boom General Contractors WLL vs Sharq Insurance LLC at the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, the claims were dismissed, and the defendant was awarded costs. The claims arose from an insurance policy issued by the defendant covering workmen's compensation. Two claims for indemnity were made by the claimant following traffic accidents involving its employees. The defendant argued the claims were invalid due to an arbitration clause, lapse of time, and primary recourse lying with the mandatory vehicle insurance. The claimant repeatedly failed to comply with procedural directions, leading to the dismissal of the claims.
