Summary

In the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, Devisers Advisory Services LLC sought to appeal a decision related to costs from a previous judgment. The First Instance Circuit had ruled that Devisers should not pay any litigation costs to Fadi Sabsabi, who represented himself, except QAR 10,000 for Devisers' review application costs. Devisers appealed, arguing they should recover legal fees incurred during the costs assessment and review. The appeal was granted on one ground but denied on another. The appeal on the allowed ground was successful, and the parties were directed to make further submissions.
