General-purpose demand/legal notice to an opposing party.
A legal notice is a formal written communication sent to an opposing party stating a grievance and the sender's intended course of action if it isn't resolved. It's often a required or advisable first step before litigation, and can itself sometimes prompt a resolution without going to court.
It depends on the type of dispute — some proceedings require a notice period before filing suit (e.g. against government bodies), others don't, but sending one is often good practice regardless.
Typically by registered post with acknowledgment due, so there is proof of delivery, sometimes alongside courier or email.
A non-response, or an unsatisfactory one, generally lets the sender proceed to the next step — a complaint, suit, or other formal proceeding — depending on the underlying matter.
