Are audio recordings admissible on Dubai Courts website for evidence upload?




2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to know if audio recordings are not allowed as evidence to upload on the Dubai Courts website.

What can I do if a company is recording voices in my house through a work laptop?




0
Q: Good Day!
my concern is that I had a relationship with a boy and he went on vacation.
As he requested to help him with his work during his vacation period, he gave me his laptop and told me his company would use some of his files remotely. I only have to open the laptop and keep it connected to the internet.
They have done their work from time to time and I have seen they did the voice recording.
When I checked, they voice-recorded the daily activities of my room.
I asked my BF and he said he didn't know about this and he asked his IT staff.
IT Staff mentioned that as per his managing director; 's instructions, they did it and if anything happens he will hold the responsibility [I have a screenshot of this conversation].
Since I'm really worried about my privacy, I would like to know what I can do about this matter and how I can file a case against them.
I have all the voice recordings, his laptop, and a screenshot of their conversation.
Thank you.

Bank filed a civil case over a loan: Better to settle with the bank or in court? 0
Good day, Sir,
I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019.
I cleared the cheque bounce case earlier with a court fine in 2019. I am looking forward to a minimum settlement plan with the bank. The outstanding amount was around 70,000 AED, and now the message is for 115,000 AED.
What will be the best way for me to proceed: approaching the bank or dealing with it in court?
Best regards,

Hello,
I have given my notice, and my last day is July 24, but the employer is refusing to pay my salary; even the salary for June. Is this even legal?

Dear Lawyers,
I worked at a bakeshop here in Dubai. I resigned exactly one year ago. Now they want me to pay for visa charges, as stated in the offer letter.
If I cannot pay for the charges, my employer will claim financial loss due to the damages, estimated to be at least 7,000 AED.
What should I do about this? My monthly salary is only 2,800 AED.
