Document background
The Breach of Contract Legal Notice is a crucial document in Malaysian commercial and civil law practice, serving as a formal notification and demand instrument before litigation. When a party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, this document is typically the first formal step in seeking legal remedy. It must be drafted in compliance with Malaysian law, particularly the Contracts Act 1950, and should clearly identify the breach, specify demands, and set compliance deadlines. The notice serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the breach, demands specific remedies, preserves legal rights, and often serves as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings. This document is essential in Malaysian business practice as it demonstrates good faith attempts to resolve disputes before court intervention and may be required by courts before accepting litigation proceedings.
