Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court, Appellate Division, dismissed Devisers Advisory Services LLC's appeal against a First Instance Circuit judgment. Devisers had sought to retain QAR 37,500 for visa services but was ordered to repay QAR 32,500 to Vfarwin Farook Muhammed. The court found that the retention sum was grossly excessive under article 107 of QFC Regulations, reducing it to QAR 5,000. Devisers' attempt to introduce new evidence on appeal was rejected. The court concluded that there were no substantial grounds for appeal and no significant risk of serious injustice.
