I honestly can't wait to hear future updates on your situation. I feel like rubbing my hands together and cackling. UNLEASH THE FAY!
Dreg: Glory, Your Most Fresh-And-Cleanness. It's only a matter of time-- Glory: Ugh, everything always takes time! What about my time? Does anyone appreciate I'm on a schedule here?! Tick tock, Dreg! Tick freakin' tock!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Congratulations, P-C!
Fay, your boss is such an ass!

Damn, Fay, what a rat-bastard! And I was ready to think he was an okay human being after the racism thing.
And reading about you are going to destroy him is wonderful.
Ooh, pretties.

Indiana Jones and the Wrath of Fay!
Well, it's set in Egypt, Indiana Jones has to be involved somehow.

Equally fun, but Indy has more legend status. We were watching Jimmy Neutron discover a lost tomb in Egypt. His buddies say: "Shouldn't we call National Geographic? Or Harvard? Or Harrison Ford?"
I hope Harrison Ford appreciates his cinematic immortality.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Fay, I don't know much about contractual law, specially in Egypt, but I'm pretty sure that even though he didn't sign it, that it is still binding. Cause bet your ass if there WAS a non-compete in there and the situation was still the same re: the signatures, he'd try to use it against you.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
There was most emphatically no non-compete clause in the contract he presently has. On my mother's life. Which is indeed why he's not using it.
afaic the memo releases me from any obligations to the school. However, as I don't want to do anything that's going to land me in the shit I'm going to go directly over to my prospective new employers tomorrow with the memo and set out the situation for them. They will know precisely what he can and can't do, and what bad things could potentially befall me if I walk out the door tomorrow with matters left as they stand. I don't want to bring any shit down on them, certainly, so although normally one would rather avoid any negative reflections upon one's current employer I don't think I've got any choice at all. His reputation has already preceded him - they know of his incompetence from the many teachers at my school who responded to their ad for new staff and from the many parents of kids presently at our school who are looking into this new (as yet unbuilt) school.
In addition to the new employers, we're approaching lawyers and we're going to the British Embassy. I'm not taking any hasty steps, but my goodness, if it turns out that I can just walk out without dropping myself in it? I am GONE.

Yeah, I don't know how it is in Egypt, but in the US it is my understanding that if both sides of a contract spend the better part of a year fulfilling that contract, it's enforceable even if not signed.
(eta: your plan sounds absolutely and totally right, Fay. What on earth did he think you would do?)

Don't make any assumptions about Egyptian law based upon US law.
....I can't begin to emphasise that strongly enough. Heh. Man. Really. Which isn't to say that the contract isn't enforceable - but that's why I'm going to consult Egyptian lawyers.
(Actually, for a contract to be legal here it has to be in Arabic. Which my contract? Very much not in Arabic. So I'm guessing he'd be looking at UK law rather than Egyptian. Good luck to him.)
