Summary
In a case involving Arwa Zakaria Ahmed Abu Hamdieh and Lesha Bank LLC, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court's Appellate Division granted permission to appeal against two prior judgments. The case revolves around the Bank's alleged failure to transfer Hamdieh's sponsorship to a new employer after her employment ended. The First Instance Circuit had ruled in favor of Hamdieh, awarding her damages for lost earnings and emotional distress. The Appellate Division found arguable grounds for the appeal, particularly on the duties of former employers, proof of damages, and judicial bias, and admitted new evidence from the Ministry of Labour.
