LEGAL RIGHTS FOR expatriates
Hello everyone,
I would greatly appreciate to know, where you can turn to for help, if you end up in one of the following prejudicial situations :
1. Renting or leasing: when the ‘renter’ or the ‘leaser’ fails to respect the clauses of the agreement.
2. Merchandising: when the product delivered is different from the one you ordered or is damaged, and you get no positive reaction from the merchant.
3. Contractual disagreements: when your contract conditions are not being respected.
4. Payment for services: when you cannot get paid for services you have rendered.
Could someone briefly describe the legal system in Qatar and its accessibility to expatriates. Thank you!
I apologize for the boring subject, but I think it will useful for those who care about rights and duties.
I believe Qatari, this could be an interesting topic for the Handbook.

I suggest you visit www.gulf-times.com and www.thepeninsulaqata....
Both have a "law" section: gives different cases scenarios that may arise when working and living in Doha and how the court deals with them.
useful info.

Thank you all for the ...Thank you all for the responses. Thank you Butterfly also for your suggestion.
As i have no legal problems right now (i'm not even there yet!), i was looking forward to finding out more about the judicial ( or legal ) system in Qatar and how QatarLiving members had to deal with prejudicial disputes or conflicts in their daily lives.
The impression i get; not too many people on this site, know about the legal system in Qatar.
A Greek philosopher once said, "Awareness is the enemy of happiness...", n'est-ce-pas ? :)
