Document background
A Cease and Desist Letter for Defamation is typically used when an individual or organization faces reputational damage due to false and harmful statements. Under Singapore's legal framework, which strongly protects reputation rights, this document serves as a crucial first step in addressing defamation before pursuing court action. The letter should clearly identify the defamatory statements, provide evidence of their falsity, and outline specific demands for cessation. It's particularly important in Singapore's context, where defamation laws are strictly enforced and can result in significant penalties. The letter needs to comply with both the Defamation Act and POHA requirements, making it a powerful tool for reputation management.
