Document background
A Stop and Desist Letter is a crucial legal instrument in the UAE legal framework, used when an individual or entity needs to formally demand the cessation of unauthorized or infringing activities. This document is particularly relevant in cases involving intellectual property infringement, unauthorized use of trade secrets, defamation, harassment, or other violations of legal rights under UAE law. The letter must comply with UAE Federal Laws and often serves as a prerequisite to formal legal proceedings, demonstrating the sender's attempt to resolve the dispute amicably before pursuing court action. It typically includes detailed documentation of the violation, clear demands for cessation, and specified timeframes for compliance, all structured in accordance with UAE legal requirements. In the UAE jurisdiction, these letters often need to be drafted in both Arabic and English, and may require specific formatting and content to be legally enforceable.
