Services Overview
What is a Legal Notice? In a situation given a person enters into a contract, which is perfectly sound, and if a particular party in that contract does not follow the duties that were assigned in order for successful fulfillment of the requirements then it leads to breach of a contract e.g.: Installation and Usage of an Optic Fiber for the internet and Non-payment of the stipulated fees for the usage of the internet. In a scenario like the one aforementioned, the other party will request the failing party to repay the stipulated amount. However, despite several reminders if the party fails to repay the amount for the fulfillment of the contract, the aggrieved party could send a legal notice for the payment of fine. Legal notice plays an essential role in the enforcement of legal suits and proceedings as they indicate whether a person or an individual is about to be sued based on certain grounds mentioned in them and therefore serve as an indication that the other party needs to defend themselves. Section 80 of the Civil Procedure Code provides for issuing legal notice prior to proceeding for a suit before the competent court. Legal notice is not necessary in various cases, although Section 80 makes it more for a procedural requirement than a substantive one. List of things that ought to be mentioned in a Legal Notice? Name of the parties: It is essential and compulsory to mention the name of the parties including their respective addresses. Facts and Grounds: it is also critical to mention facts and the grounds on which such a claim is to be made.
