The Cease And Desist Letter Defamation is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss law used when an individual or organization faces harmful false statements affecting their reputation. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence of defamatory statements that violate Swiss Civil Code Article 28 or Criminal Code provisions regarding defamation. It serves as a formal warning and attempt to resolve the matter before initiating court proceedings. The letter must carefully balance asserting legal rights with Swiss constitutional protections for freedom of expression. It should detail specific instances of defamation, demonstrate their harmful nature, and make clear demands for cessation, often including timeframes for compliance and consequences for non-compliance. The document is particularly relevant in today's digital age where defamatory content can spread rapidly across multiple platforms.
