Summary
The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court ruled on October 29, 2024, that Meinhardt BIM Studios LLC must pay the QFC Employment Standards Office (ESO) $10,500 plus interest due to unpaid employee remuneration. The court found Meinhardt BIM Studios LLC did not defend against the claim, which involved multiple judgments for unpaid salaries and benefits.

The case was decided without a formal hearing based on undisputed evidence.
