Document background
The Official Demand Letter is a crucial pre-litigation document in Singapore's legal system, typically used when previous attempts to resolve a dispute have been unsuccessful. It serves as a formal notification that legal action may follow if the demanded obligations are not met. An Official Demand Letter should clearly state the basis of the claim, specify the amount owed or action required, provide a reasonable deadline for compliance, and outline the consequences of non-compliance. This document is particularly important as it often serves as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings and demonstrates the sender's attempt to resolve the matter amicably before pursuing court action.
