6 LEGAL RIGHTS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF!


Regardless of the place we live in, we are always governed by certain rules and regulations of the concerned society.

It is ironic then that most of us do not have the required clarity about our legal rights, how do they work, and what are their possible implications. This lack of understanding or awareness traps you in hefty litigations.

If you ever find yourself caught up in such a situation, the appointment of a legal consultant necessitate the circumstances.

Let us take you through the following list of most common legal rights and issues that requires your urgent attention.

1.      Copyright laws:         
You might not be consciously aware of this, but a regular online activity at your end might be akin to breaking the Copyright law.

For instance, there are many copyrighted videos uploaded on YouTube (Elaborate information shared by the owner in description). If you happen to load them on your home channel by creating a meme on the same, this will be termed as a possible infringement of the Digital Copyright Act.

2.      Non-permissible activities during driving: 

Considering a general rule followed by all countries, it is not permitted to use a mobile phone for calling as well as other activities while you are behind the wheel as it may lead to fatal crashes.

There are many legal implications involved along with the hefty fines in case you are caught in the act.

Wearing headphones and even keeping the car doors open for longer during than required can cost you dearly at certain places.

3.      Taking pictures/videos and sharing when it is prohibited to do so        

All of us are in possession of the camera-enabled phones, which we use endlessly to capture different moments throughout the day. A pretty normal activity, right? Well, not necessarily!

Certain pieces of art might not be permissible to get clicked and shared on your channels. On a more serious issue, clicking and sharing the pictures of military establishments might be seen as a major breach to the security of the country. Importantly, clicking any person’s picture without his/her consent is strictly prohibited in the UAE and will involve detention under Cybercrime Law.

Don't give in to the habit of clicking and posting anything to everything online. Scrutinize your actions closely lest you find yourself caught in a major legal soup merely because of irresponsible behaviour.

You might require the help of lawyers if you get stuck in such matters. To connect with the expert team of legal consultants in Abu Dhabi, visit www.professionallawyer.me.

4.      About renting a property    

When a property is rented out, it is bound by certain contractual terms and conditions, which have the backing of the property law of the country.

Make sure that you go through all the details carefully while simultaneously comparing the provisions given in the state laws.

Unlawful use of provisions like charging extra months of security than permissible can also put the landlord under the scrutiny of the legal authority.

5.      Air travel rights        

While travelling by air, there are certain rights that a passenger is entitled to. These may range from reimbursing the amount in case of luggage loss to locking in your advance fare.

Even in case of flight delay or cancellation, you might get entitled some compensation depending upon the country's prevalent laws.

6.      Corporate rights       

At a corporate place, the relationship between employer and employees share many legal aspects that both the parties should be aware of. From sexual to mental harassment, paycheck, work conditions, and more – you are entitled to various rights.  


As aptly put by Martin Luther King Jr.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than the sincere ignorance and the conscientious stupidity”.
