Summary

In a judgment dated 30 November 2023, the Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court ordered Ahmed Barakat to pay Whitepencil LLC $2,950 plus interest for unpaid legal fees related to setting up a company in the British Virgin Islands. Barakat's counterclaim was dismissed, and he was also ordered to cover Whitepencil’s legal costs. The court found that Whitepencil had performed the contracted work, which included compliance tasks and renewal of a business license for Barakat's company. The case was resolved based on written submissions without the need for oral evidence.
