Document background
A Cease Communication Letter is utilized when an individual or organization needs to formally request the termination of unwanted communications. Under English and Welsh law, this document serves as a crucial first step in addressing harassment, unwanted contact, or inappropriate communications. The letter typically includes details of previous communications, clear demands to cease contact, and references to relevant legislation. It's particularly important as it creates a paper trail and can be used as evidence if legal action becomes necessary. The document should be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with relevant legislation such as the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 and the Data Protection Act 2018.
