Overview of Legal Notice
Legal action can only be taken when
already notice has been served upon the entity or person you wish to bring to
court. It is only this method that legalizes producing a matter to court. The
intimation given is known as 'legal notice.' A legal notice is, hence, formal
notification to a person or an entity, notifying the other party of your
purpose to commence legal proceedings against them. Legal notice can serve as a
target of negotiations among the parties and save time, effort, and money spent
in court cases.
This makes the party aware of your
complaint. Many times, a legal notice served will bring the other party on
heels, and the difficulty can get resolved out of court, too, with fruitful
arguments on both sides. If the opposite party is still not heeding to the
grievance, one can always start the court procedures after a particular
interval, as pronounced by the law.
What is a legal Notice?
When a person decides to take legal
action, one of the first steps involved, is sending an official communication
to warn the offender of his/her intentions when a specified condition was not
complied upon as agreed, when the contract was signed between both the parties.
For instance, a legal notice can be issued to a tenant for not paying the rent
as per the agreed terms and conditions before moving into the property of the
owner’s house. Therefore, this gives the landlord the right to send a legal
notice to the renter with the immediate effect of paying the dues before the
specified date or vacate immediately.
Benefits of A Legal Notice
Warning: A legal
notice ensures that the offender is made aware of his/her duties to be
performed, and the consequences of non-compliance.
Caveat: The
wrongdoer is informed about the potential litigation and opportunity to rectify
his/her error
Resolution of Dispute: Both parties
shall resolve their dispute by negotiating between themselves.
Amicable Settlement: The process of
litigation is time-consuming in lieu of which direct settlement makes things
quicker and easier.
