Document background
A Cease and Desist Letter For Harassment is a crucial legal tool used when an individual or organization needs to formally address and stop harassing behavior. Under English and Welsh law, this document serves as both a formal warning and a prerequisite to potential legal action. The letter typically details specific incidents of harassment, cites relevant legislation including the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and demands immediate cessation of the behavior. It's particularly valuable in establishing a documented record of attempting to resolve the situation before pursuing court action, and can be used in various contexts from workplace harassment to stalking and cyber-harassment.
