Summary

In the case of Teknowledge Services and Solutions LLC v. Fadi Saghir, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court granted an interim injunction against Saghir, a former employee, for downloading and deleting confidential information and joining a competitor, PwC, potentially breaching non-competition clauses. Saghir admitted to copying the data but offered innocent explanations. The court found his actions suspicious, justifying the injunction to prevent him from retaining or sharing confidential information. The court clarified that the injunction doesn't prevent Saghir from working for PwC but restricts activities competing directly with Teknowledge. Arguments about a No Objection Certificate and non-compete clause validity were also addressed.
