Summary

The Qatar Financial Centre Civil and Commercial Court adjourned the trial between Thales QFZ LLC and AlJaber Engineering Company W.L.L. on 11 February 2025. Despite prior preparations, AlJaber’s lawyers did not attend the hearing, citing National Sports Day, which the court had previously refused as a valid reason for adjournment. Thales was ready to proceed, but due to the absence of AlJaber’s legal representation, and the complexity of legal issues and cross-examinations involved, the court deemed a fair trial impossible without both parties being on equal footing, thus necessitating the adjournment.
