“The court ruled the previous verdict void  and referring the case to the court of appeals to rule on it all over again,” NBQ said in a statement on Tuesday, citing the court ruling.

In June, NBQ said a Dubai court halted a decision asking it to pay $250 million to Global pending a September hearing.

In April, Global won a ruling to get back $250 million from NBQ in addition to interest of $54.6 million.

The $250 million was a deposit placed by Global with NBQ in August 2008 for a National Bank convertible bond issue. Global later cancelled the planned purchase and wanted the money back, but NBQ decided it was entitled to keep it. (Reporting by Eman Goma; Editing by Shaheen Pasha)
