Document background
The Cease and Desist Letter to Former Employee is a crucial legal instrument used when a company discovers that a former employee is engaging in activities that violate their post-employment obligations or threaten the company's legitimate business interests. This document, governed by Indian law, is typically issued when there are breaches of non-compete agreements, unauthorized use of confidential information, intellectual property infringement, or violation of trade secrets. The letter serves as both a formal warning and a prerequisite to potential litigation, demonstrating the company's attempt to resolve the matter amicably before pursuing court action. It must comply with Indian legal requirements and typically includes specific references to violated agreements, detailed demands, compliance deadlines, and consequences of non-compliance.
