An arbitral award was issued in favor of a client of Al-Bidda Law Firm in a commercial dispute, obligating the other party to pay an amount of QAR 643,619, in addition to compensation of QAR 64,361, as well as obligating it to bear the full arbitration fees amounting to QAR 60,000.
The firm’s team managed the case from the stage of studying the contractual relationship and defining the scope of the claims, through preparing the request for arbitration and the legal memoranda and compiling the documents supporting the amounts claimed, up to presenting the elements of the dispute before the arbitral tribunal and responding to the defenses and objections raised regarding entitlement.
The claims submitted addressed the principal debt and the damage resulting from the failure to fulfill the obligations, as well as the expenses incurred by the client in pursuing his right through arbitration. The tribunal ultimately granted the claims to the extent established by the documents, combining in its award the principal dues, the compensation, and the arbitration fees.
The award reflects the importance of early and organized preparation of arbitration files, particularly in disputes involving numerous documents, correspondence, and financial payments. It also highlights the practical role of drafting claims precisely and linking each claim to its contractual and documentary basis, thereby helping the arbitral tribunal to form a complete picture of the dispute and its financial implications.
