In legal matters, it is often necessary for parties to engage in correspondence before taking any legal action. This is where a “letter before action” comes into play. A letter before action is a formal letter sent by a party to another, usually in the context of a dispute, as a final warning before initiating legal proceedings. In this blog, we will discuss what exactly is a letter before action, what it includes, when to send it, and some frequently asked questions about this legal document.

As mentioned earlier, a letter before action is a written demand sent by one party to another to resolve a dispute or issue before taking legal action. It is considered a last resort before initiating court proceedings as it gives the recipient one final opportunity to settle the matter without involving the courts.
