It has been an interesting time recently in Qatar
with regards to the introduction of new laws and the further
development of draft laws. Of particular interest to participants
in the education sector will be some of the provisions of Law
No.(11) of 2015, the new Commercial Companies Law, which took
effect on 6 August, Law No.(1) of 2015 which amended Law No.(14) of
2004, the Labour Law, the progress of the draft law regulating
private schools through Qatar's constitutional approval
process, and Law No.(18) of 2015, the Educational Service Law.
Commercial Companies Law
The new Companies Law repealed Law No.(5) of 2002 and any
decisions previously made by the Minister of Economy and Commerce
(Minister) to implement it. However, until the Minister issues new
decisions under the new law, the current decisions will remain in
effect to the extent that they are not contradictory.
