Can schools search the phones of students without consent?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Some friends went to a party and got drunk, even though they are all underage.
Now, one of them posted a TikTok at school, and the head of the secondary school went through their phones, finding pictures of the party and all of them drinking.

Can a school give parents the personal mobile numbers of teachers?



2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a teacher at a school in Dubai. Can my employer, the school, provide my personal mobile number to parents?
I am employed by the school, and the school has my phone number. But the school is forcing teachers to provide our personal numbers to ALL parents.
The parents are provided with teachers' school email addresses and educational platforms to message the teachers with any questions, but because the parents are lazy to email or learn how to use the platforms for messaging, the school is forcing us to provide our mobile numbers to parents.
Is it legally allowed for the school to force teachers to provide their personal phone numbers to ALL parents, who do not respect the teachers' privacy and message/call at non-working hours?
And then the school expects teachers to respond during non-working hours and weekends. MOST teachers do not want to provide their personal phone numbers.
What does UAE law state regarding this and what can we do?

Can a teacher legally search a lost backpack and use found items as evidence?



1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
If a student's backpack is found in a bathroom stall in Dubai, is it legal for a teacher to take the bag to their office and thoroughly search it without the student knowing where their bag is?
Additionally, if a vape is found in the bag, are they allowed to use it as evidence, considering it was discovered in that manner?
There was also no suspicion of the student, other than the bag being found in the bathroom.

Can I send a cease and desist letter to stop a teacher's unwanted comments?




1
Q: Hello,
Can I send a cease and desist letter to a teacher at my school?
She does not teach any of my subjects, but I want her to stop approaching me and talking to me entirely. I have tried addressing this through the school, but the teacher continues to make snarky remarks or comments about my outfits.
Also, what happens if she continues to communicate with me despite the cease and desist?

View allDisputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice 0
Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
