Document background
A Defamation Letter Before Action is a crucial preliminary step in defamation proceedings under Singapore law. It serves as both a formal notification and a final opportunity for resolution before court proceedings begin. This document should be used when defamatory statements have been made that damage reputation or business interests, and formal legal action is being considered. The letter must comply with Singapore's Defamation Act and pre-action protocols, clearly identifying the defamatory statements, providing evidence, and stating specific demands for remedy. It's an essential tool for dispute resolution that often leads to settlement without court intervention.
