Qatari Sheikh Must Pay $419,400 in Unpaid Fees to U.K. Law Firm

A member of the Qatari royal family must pay a London-based law firm 261,279 pounds ($419,400) in unpaid fees for advice given when his assets were frozen after he failed to pay auction houses for bids he won.

Sheikh Saud Bin Mohammed Bin Ali Al-Thani was ordered to pay the amount because he never responded to the lawsuit by SJ Berwin LLP, according to the default judgment given at London’s High Court in April and made public this week.
