A Cease And Desist Demand Letter is a crucial legal instrument in Nigerian business and legal practice, used when an individual or entity needs to formally demand the immediate discontinuation of unauthorized or infringing activities. This document is particularly relevant in cases involving intellectual property infringement, unfair competition, defamation, harassment, or other violations of legal rights under Nigerian law. The letter typically includes detailed descriptions of the alleged violations, evidence of the sender's legal rights, specific demands for cessation, compliance deadlines, and potential legal consequences. While not a court document, it serves as an important pre-litigation tool and can be vital evidence if court proceedings become necessary. The document must comply with Nigerian legal requirements and is often used to demonstrate good faith attempts at resolution before pursuing more formal legal remedies.
