Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court Appellate Division ruled on an appeal by Lesha Bank LLC against previous judgments favoring Arwa Zakaria Ahmed Abu Hamdieh. The court ordered Hamdieh to pay the bank QAR 270,400 within 28 days. The bank claimed QAR 351,575.50 in costs, which included fees for legal representation by Al Yafei and Badri law firms. Disputes arose over the apportionment and documentation of these fees. The court ultimately awarded the bank QAR 5,400 for Al Yafei's work and assessed the costs for Badri's services.
