The Regulatory Tribunal written-challenge suspension is disclosed but not automatically applied.
The six-year residual period and Article 8.3 deemed-refusal date are self-check calculations only and are excluded from paid evidence records because governing-law, accrual and applicable-period conditions must be confirmed.
Court-directed dates, periods supplied by another QFC instrument and discretionary extensions are not inferred.
The bundled Qatar public-holiday calendar is verified for 2026 only.
Search by deadline, citation or court. Each entry shows what starts the clock and whether the current rule can be calculated or needs checking.
