Document background
The Strongly Worded Cease And Desist Letter is a crucial legal instrument in South African business and legal practice, typically employed when diplomatic approaches have failed but before initiating formal litigation. This document is used to address various violations, including intellectual property infringement, harassment, unfair competition, or breach of contractual obligations. It must comply with South African legal requirements, including the Constitution, relevant statutes, and common law principles. The letter serves as documented evidence of formal notification and demand, often required before pursuing legal action in South African courts. It should contain clear demands, specific timeframes, and explicit consequences while avoiding language that could constitute criminal intimidation under South African law.
