Document background
A Cease And Desist Letter To Former Employee is a crucial legal tool used when a company needs to formally address and stop problematic behavior by a former employee. This document is particularly important in the Malaysian legal context, where it serves as a formal notice under the Employment Act 1955 and related legislation. It is typically used when a former employee is engaging in activities such as sharing confidential information, violating non-compete agreements, misusing company intellectual property, or breaching post-employment contractual obligations. The letter should clearly state the legal basis for the demands, specify the violations, set clear deadlines for compliance, and outline potential legal consequences under Malaysian law. This document often serves as a crucial piece of evidence if subsequent legal action becomes necessary, and its proper drafting can be decisive in achieving compliance or supporting future litigation.
