Document background
The Cease and Desist Communication Letter is a crucial legal instrument used in the Philippines when an individual or entity needs to formally demand the termination of unwanted or harassing communications. This document is typically employed after informal attempts to resolve the situation have failed but before initiating formal legal proceedings. It serves as documented evidence of the formal request to stop specific behaviors, incorporating relevant provisions from Philippine law, including the Civil Code, Cybercrime Prevention Act, and Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act where applicable. The letter must clearly identify all parties, detail the offensive conduct, specify demands for cessation, and outline potential legal consequences under Philippine jurisdiction. This document is particularly important as it establishes a paper trail and can serve as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if the recipient fails to comply.
