Arbitration 1

Arbitration is one of a file’s degrees in the system, linked to the dispute’s other files.

  • Qatar International Center for Conciliation and Arbitration

Official names set up in the system to classify the office’s files; the office can rename them or add others in its list of names. They imply no partnership with, or endorsement by, these bodies.

Every degree has its own file… linked to the one before

  1. First instance

    The case file before the court of first instance, with its hearings, requests and memoranda.

  2. Appeal

    Opened from the case file in one click; the client, the opponents and the team move into it.

  3. Cassation

    The last degree of appeal, in a file of its own linked to the ones before it.

  4. Execution

    After the enforcement order: the execution file and the disputes tied to it.

In the case or criminal report file, on the daily hearing roll sorted by court and time, and it is filled in automatically on the delegation letter.

No. They are official names set up only to classify the office’s files inside the system, and they imply no partnership with, or endorsement by, these bodies.
