And you should never mention people's REAL NAME on public forums: PROPER NETIQUETTE my dear...another FYI
Your husband is British working/worked in Bahrain...NOT IN QATAR. Here in Qatar, different law applies. And you already contradicted your first post. You said the Embassy "provided" a lawyer. Now your second post "was guided" by the Embassy...which I directly pointed out in my post.
Have you ever been to the Philippine Embassy and requested legal assistance in any way? I don't think so. Coz apart from documentation attestation/authentication, renewal of travel documents (i.e. PASSPORT), the Embassy could only mediate between their citizens and the employer as they (Embassy officials) are still bound by the QATAR (Labour)LAW...IN QATAR. That is why there is that section in the Phil Embassy called 'ASSISTANCE TO NATIONALS'.
Your husband is a British National, an EXPAT and he is dealt with a different hand compared with the Asians...A FACT.
could be connoted as PLAGIARISM...FYI :)
