Document background
A Cease and Desist Letter for Harassment is a critical legal tool in the Irish legal system used when an individual or entity needs to formally demand the stop of harassing behavior. This document is typically employed after other informal attempts to stop harassment have failed but before initiating full legal proceedings. The letter documents specific instances of harassment, cites relevant Irish legislation (including the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997 and the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020), and serves as evidence that the recipient was formally notified of the illegal nature of their behavior. The document should be carefully drafted to include all relevant details while maintaining a professional tone, as it may later be used as evidence in court proceedings if the harassment continues. The Cease and Desist Letter for Harassment can be used in various contexts, from workplace harassment to personal situations, and can be sent by the affected individual, their legal representative, or in some cases, their employer.
