Document background
The Final Demand Letter With Notice of Legal Action is a crucial document used when all previous attempts to recover a debt have been unsuccessful. It represents the final step before commencing formal legal proceedings in Singapore courts. This document must comply with Singapore's pre-action protocols and typically includes detailed information about the debt, payment history, specific deadline for payment, and clear consequences of non-compliance. It serves both as a final opportunity for the debtor to settle the matter and as evidence of due diligence in debt recovery efforts before litigation. The letter must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with Singapore's Civil Law Act, Rules of Court 2021, and relevant Practice Directions.
