Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I was at my company accommodation when my roommate and some of his friends were having a small gathering and consuming alcohol (legally purchased from MMI). Suddenly, the security guard and the accommodation assistant in charge breached into the room without knocking or ringing the doorbell. They took all the liquor bottles and recorded a video of everyone, including myself. I agree that consuming alcohol in staff accommodation is not allowed, but that is not my problem because I did not consume any alcohol. My question is, is it legal for them to breach someone's privacy and take a video? If it is illegal, how can I take action against them?

An interview-format article covering the topic of the new amendments to the laws in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

This Law promulgates the Federal Penal Code (Criminal Law) of the United Arab Emirates. Crimes and chastisement punishments shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other penal codes.

The provisions of this Federal Decree-Law No. (31) of 2021 Promulgating the Crimes and Penalties Law, known as the "New UAE Penal Code", governs criminal actions in the United Arab Emirates. The New Penal Code repeals the previous UAE Penal Code (Federal Law No. (3) of 1987 Promulgating the Penal Code).
