Document background
A Cease and Desist Communication Letter is utilized when an individual or organization needs to formally demand the cessation of harmful, unlawful, or infringing behavior. Under Singapore's legal system, this document serves as a crucial first step in addressing issues such as harassment, defamation, intellectual property infringement, or unwanted communications. The letter typically details the offensive conduct, cites relevant laws (such as POHA), specifies required remedial actions, and outlines consequences for non-compliance. It creates a formal record of the attempt to resolve the issue before pursuing legal action and can be particularly important in Singapore's courts as evidence of reasonable attempts at resolution.
