Legal Notice

A legal notice puts the other side on formal notice of your claim and often resolves the dispute without going to court.

Overview

A legal notice puts the other side on formal notice of your claim and often resolves the dispute without going to court. We also draft replies to notices you have received — on time and without admissions that hurt you later.

A well-drafted notice sets out the facts in order, identifies the legal basis of your claim, states exactly what you want — payment, performance, an apology, or that something stops — and gives a reasonable deadline. If the dispute does reach court, it is evidence that you tried to settle first.

Where you have received a notice, the reply matters as much as the original: it should answer each allegation, put your version on record, and avoid admissions that can be used against you later.

Common questions

Is a legal notice mandatory before filing a case?

add

Not always. It is required in some situations — for example, before suing the government (Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure) or before a cheque bounce complaint — and it is good practice in most other disputes because it records your claim and gives the other side a chance to settle.

How long does the other party get to respond?

add

For most disputes no single statutory period applies, and the notice itself states a reasonable time, commonly 15 to 30 days. Some laws fix their own periods, such as 15 days to pay after a cheque bounce notice and two months for notices to the government under Section 80 CPC.

What should I do if I have received a legal notice?

add

Do not ignore it, and do not reply informally. A considered reply sent within the time given puts your version on record without admissions that could be used against you later.

Does a legal notice have to be sent by a lawyer?

add

No law requires it, but a notice issued by an advocate is usually taken more seriously and is drafted with the later court stage in mind.
