The panel examined how these cases are influencing global commercial courts, including the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) Civil and Commercial Court and Regulatory Tribunal.
Participants gained practical insight into applications for asset preservation, as well as innovative approaches to freezing injunctions and the examination of witnesses in interim proceedings. The discussion also highlighted key lessons from recent high-profile cases.
The session was moderated by Umar Azmeh, Registrar at QICDRC, with contributions from Andrew Grantham and Emily Betts, both barristers at Gatehouse Chambers; Jonathan Brooks, Senior Counsel from Al Tamimi and Co, and QICDRC Case Progression Officer, Muna al-Kaabi.
“Fraud and asset recovery cases are increasingly international in scope, and it is vital for practitioners in the region to understand the evolving techniques and judicial approaches shaping these disputes. QICDRC is delighted to provide a platform for knowledge exchange on such a critical topic,” said Azmeh. Grantham said the recent cases it would be discussing demonstrate how courts are responding to the complexities of fraud claims across jurisdictions.
