Document background
The Counter Demand Letter is a strategic legal document used in Hong Kong's commercial and civil dispute resolution process. It is typically employed when a party receives a demand letter and needs to both defend against the original claims and assert their own claims against the demanding party. The document must adhere to Hong Kong's legal requirements and typically includes detailed rebuttals of original claims, supporting evidence, legal bases for counter-claims, and specific demands for remedy or compensation. A Counter Demand Letter often serves as a crucial piece of pre-litigation correspondence and may significantly influence the trajectory of a dispute resolution process, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings. It's particularly important in Hong Kong's business environment, where formal legal correspondence plays a vital role in establishing positions and preserving legal rights.
