His Excellency Judge Khalid Ali Al Obeidli, President of the Investment and Trade Court, said that the establishment of the Court is part of creating an attractive environment for investment in the State of Qatar, which has become the subject of interest from many investors.

In an interview with CNBC Arab television, the President of the Investment and Trade Court stressed that it was necessary to establish a specialized court to keep pace with global developments in the legal process governing investment and trade, and to complement the Supreme Council of the Judiciary's plan to establish specialized courts.

He stressed that the Supreme Judicial Council noticed, during the monthly monitoring, the increase in the number of investment cases and cases related to banks, so it was necessary to establish a specialized court with advanced procedures, stressing that the Investment and Trade Court Law No. 21 of 2021 assigned to the court essential competencies that include 22 laws, including the transaction law. Banks, investment company transactions, marine sales, shipping, intellectual property, disputes between investors and other investment and trade activities in the State of Qatar.

The President of the Investment and Trade Court believes that what distinguishes the court is the case management office, or what is known as “early control of the case.” This system prepares the case under judicial supervision in a way that reduces judicial procedures, and prepares it before presenting it to the court body in preparation for its adjudication, in addition to the possibility of presenting Conciliation on opponents during the preparatory stage.

The President of the Investment and Trade Court pointed out that the new law of the Investment and Trade Court allowed litigation by electronic means, filing the lawsuit, advertisements, case management, and the exchange of memoranda and appeals, all of which will be electronic.
