Recording conversation without the consent of recorded person
In the UAE, is it legal or illegal to record a conversation between myself and someone else if the other party does not know I am recording?
Does it make a difference if the conversation is face to face or over the phone?
Can the content of the recording be used as evidence in the court?

Dear Questioner,
It is illegal to record any conversation if you did not ask the other party's consent.
Regarding your question, if the content can be used as evidence in the court, it depends on the conversation and the party's statement.
If it is evidence of a crime, the court or the relevant authorities may accept it.
Best regards,
