Document background
An Errors and Omissions Demand Letter is a crucial pre-litigation document used when seeking remedy for professional negligence or oversight. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, serves as a formal notice before commencing legal proceedings and must comply with the Professional Negligence Pre-Action Protocol. The letter should clearly articulate the alleged error or omission, demonstrate causation, specify resulting damages, and make a clear demand for remedy. It's typically used after informal resolution attempts have failed but before initiating court proceedings, providing the professional with an opportunity to respond and potentially resolve the matter without litigation.
