Document background
A Cease and Desist Letter is a crucial legal tool in England and Wales used when one party wishes to formally demand another party stop an allegedly unlawful activity. This document typically precedes formal legal proceedings and serves as evidence that the recipient was put on notice of their allegedly infringing behavior. The letter should clearly identify the parties involved, specify the offensive conduct, cite relevant legal authorities, demand specific actions, and outline consequences of non-compliance. It's commonly used for intellectual property infringement, harassment, defamation, breach of contract, or other violations of legal rights.
