Qatar airways compensation...will they pay?

Hi all, I think I understand the basics of the EU 261 2004 ruling, but I'd like n opinion and advice.
In2012 I flew with Qatar airways from London Heathrowto Hong kong. Via Doha. The first portion of the flight was delayed ( from London to Doha), resulting in a missed connection in Doha. We were put on another Qatar flight...to Singapore and then a Cathay pacific flight to Hong Kong, resulting in a 7 hour delay. I have seen in the past that Qatar have a 'difference of opinion' with the CAA and have refused to acknowledge delays with connecting flights in Doha , as Doha is in the UAE and not in the EU. I think I have a solid case as the entire trip was booked as a flight from London to Hong Kong. Has anyone had any problems dealing with them? Will they conform?Do they have a loophole? Thanks

whether you are actually due compensation depends on the reason for the initial delay

And how long was the first leg delay? You maybe due compensation from that alone.
The airline could not successfully argue both sides, in terms of is being a single or multiple ticket.
