Document background
The Letter of Intent to Sue in Small Claims Court is a crucial pre-litigation document in Singapore's legal framework. It serves as a formal notification and last attempt at resolution before proceeding to the Small Claims Tribunals. This document is typically used when other attempts at resolution have failed and the disputed amount falls within the Tribunals' jurisdiction (up to S$20,000, or S$30,000 with mutual agreement). The letter must be drafted in compliance with Singapore's legal requirements and should clearly state the claim details, supporting evidence, and demanded resolution. It's particularly useful for consumer disputes, small business conflicts, and minor contractual disagreements where full legal proceedings might be disproportionate.
