Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, First Instance Circuit, ruled on 30 July 2023 in favor of the Claimants—Manwara Begum, Mohammed Rashel, Sanjida Akter, and Roashanara Begum—residents of Bangladesh, who filed a case against Gulf Insurance Group BSC. The case stems from a fatal accident on 8 May 2019 involving the First Defendant, Mukhtar Darwish Mustafa Rahal, whose vehicle killed three construction workers, including the Claimants' breadwinner. The Court dismissed the Defendant's objection to jurisdiction and confirmed its authority to hear the case, ordering the Defendant to cover the Claimants' costs and allowing them to amend their statements within 14 days.
