Document background
The Liability Settlement Agreement is a crucial legal instrument used in Qatar to formally resolve disputes and settle liability claims between parties. This document type is particularly relevant when parties seek to conclude a dispute without proceeding to litigation or wish to settle existing legal proceedings. The agreement must comply with Qatar's civil law system, particularly the Qatar Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004), which provides specific requirements for settlement agreements (sulh). It typically includes detailed provisions for payment terms, releases, waivers, and other settlement conditions. The document is commonly used across various sectors and can address multiple types of liability, from commercial disputes to construction claims, ensuring that all parties have clarity on their rights and obligations post-settlement.
