Document background
A Letter of Demand Small Claims Court document is a crucial first step in the dispute resolution process in Singapore. It serves as formal notification to the other party about the claim and demonstrates good faith in attempting to resolve the matter before proceeding to the Tribunals. The letter should clearly state the claim amount (within the Tribunals' jurisdiction of S$20,000, or S$30,000 with consent), detail the dispute, provide evidence, and give a reasonable timeframe for response. This document is particularly important as the Small Claims Tribunals often require proof that parties have attempted to resolve their dispute before filing a claim.
