ADVOCATE

Written words hold greater significance compared to oral communication because written documents serve as a permanent record. In disputes, written documents are crucial for resolving issues. A legal notice is one such written document, drafted in legal terminology, which legally binds a person to acknowledge its contents. Legal notices address various matters including personal or private grievances, complaints related to employment, workplace disputes, cheque bounce issues, divorce proceedings, among others. The issuer of a legal notice is required to formally notify the intended recipient about its issuance. Essentially, a legal notice serves as a warning to the recipient before initiating legal proceedings against them.
