My Legal Rights Regarding Phone Contract Uk Only Help

Is an agreement not signed in a contract legal?

If an agreement is not signed, the terms of it are generally not binding (what I think you mean by legal). Binding means that the parties are legally obliged to carry out their obligations/duties in the contract.However, the agreement may be still valid and binding based on the intention. Intention is very purposive and so in determining whether a contract is binding the courts will look at whether the parties intended to enter into a contract.So to show that an unsigned contract is legally binding, one/several of the following will generally help:Evidence of communication - Emails, phone calls, other conversations.Evidence of a wish to enter into an agreement with one another, which can be both oral or in writing.Any steps that would have been taken by either party based on the reliance of a promise from the other party - e.g. if for example a cake baking business agreed to cater an event and started buying ingredients on that reliance. It would show intention. (this is an example).I hope this helps. This is what I know the law to stand like in the UK. This may vary depending on the jurisdiction.

Do the police legally have the right to tap your phone based purely on suspicion?

The laws on wiretapping are complex and the reality is a bit different from what’s in the law books.Traditionally police have needed court warrants for wiretaps. But lately police departments have been deploying “stingray” boxes which can tap all the cell phones in a nearby area. They may collect just phone number and call duration data, or who knows, they may actually listen in.Also we know the NSA is perfectly fine with tapping anybody’s phone, anybody who might be making or receiving a phone call from outside the USA or from a terrorist suspect, so, anyone.It’s probably a bad idea to use phones to communicate about illegal things, how about you just pass notes or have conversations in a sawmill?

Can teachers legally search through your phone?

Tough question. There are a lot of factors involved: the phone probably doesn’t belong to the student (if the student is a minor, the contract is in the parent’s name and the parents can give consent to a search), the type of information (there are various layers of laws covering different aspects of the information on a phone—call logs and text messages, for instance, are protected by Federal law, and failure to observe proper law can run afoul of Federal wiretapping statutes, which have penalties up to twenty years in Federal prison and/or a $100,000 fine); and the expectation that schools can act “in loco parentis.”The differing legal jurisdictions are interesting. In Florida, for instance, Florida Statute 1006.09 specifically allows schools to search students’ property in some circumstances. However, and this is a big “however,” a state can not permit something that’s illegal on a Federal level, and anti-wiretapping statutes are Federal, not state. (The statute doesn’t mention cell phones, but Florida courts have ruled that cell phones count as “property.”)If a parent gives consent to the search, there’s likely nothing the student can do. On the other hand, an enterprising student whose phone is searched without consent might, if call or text message information is exposed during the search, be able to file a Federal anti-wiretapping complaint, and the teachers and/or school administrators might find themselves looking down the barrel of two decades in a Federal penitentiary. It would be fascinating to see what wold happen if a school did this, dug through a student’s text messages, and then the student and/or the student’s parents decided to make a test case out of it.The ACLU has sued school districts for searching cell phones, and schools have settled.ACLU Settles Student-Cell-Phone-Search Lawsuit With Northeast Pennsylvania School DistrictFederal courts have ruled against schools that have searched students’ phones.Judge Rejects Administrators' Search of Student's CellphoneMany lawsuits have been filed all over the US against schools that have searched students’ phones.If I were a schoolteacher, I sure as hell wouldn’t do it. A shitty, underpaid public job isn’t worth risking a Federal felony conviction. But that’s me.

Is it legal to forge someone's signature with their consent?

Someone asking you to “sign on their behalf” is effectively asking you to represent them in doing a certain thing, which qualifies you as a mandated party. You basically have an unwritten contract in which it is stipulated that you sign for someone else, on their behalf.You would have to use your own signature, not theirs. This means that you’ve agreed that you sign on their behalf and that your signature on any relevant (..) document is the same as their signature on that document.If you’d however use their signature, that’s something else entirely, with or without their consent, should the signing be done in order to produce any sort of legal consequence whatsoever, such as in the situation of signing a check.One situation in which it’s most likely legal to use someone’s signature could be the following: you get commissioned to use someone’s signature as a wall decoration (do it over and over across a wall, for decorative purposes).This all varies with jurisdiction etc though I’m pretty sure on the basics.
