Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court ordered the Defendant, China Railway 18th Bureau Group WLL (in liquidation), to pay HKA Global Limited QAR 35,194 in costs. The original claim involved unpaid fees amounting to QAR 335,857.06 for advisory services provided by the Claimant. Despite the Defendant’s liquidation status complicating matters, the court ruled in favor of the Claimant. The Defendant did not engage in the proceedings, which increased the Claimant's costs. The court assessed the costs based on proportionality and reasonableness, ultimately awarding a fixed fee plus service costs.
