How to Send Legal Notice

What Happens After Sending Legal Notice?

Why Choose Us?

Introduction

If you’re dealing with a legal dispute—be it unpaid dues, breach of contract, or a property conflict—you may already be advised to issue a legal notice. It’s not just a formal document but a legal instrument that often determines how smoothly or aggressively your case may progress. A legal warning is a structured warning to the other party before legal action. It highlights your claim, invites negotiation, and documents intent. The value of a properly drafted and served notice can be immense—it can save months of litigation and lakhs in court expenses. Here’s everything you need to know to get it right from the start.

What is a Legal Notice?

A legal notice is a formal, written communication issued by one party to another before taking legal action. It serves as a warning and provides an opportunity for the other party to resolve the issue amicably within a specified time. In Indian law, it is often a prerequisite in civil and commercial matters. For instance, Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure mandates that a legal notice be served to a government entity or public officer before initiating a suit against them. Similarly, under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (for cheque bounce cases), the complainant must serve a legal notice within 30 days of dishonour.

The legal warning ensures that the aggrieved party places its grievance on official record and gives the recipient a chance to act in good faith. This not only helps reduce the burden on courts but also improves chances of out-of-court settlement. Most importantly, it strengthens the sender’s legal standing, should the matter escalate to litigation.

When & Why to Send Legal Notice?

You should consider sending a legal notice when your personal or professional rights are being violated, and previous attempts at resolution have failed. Here are the most common circumstances:

  • Breach of Contract: When one party fails to honour a contract, a legal notice acts as formal communication to enforce compliance or claim damages.
  • Cheque Bounce: Under NI Act, a bounced cheque must be followed up with a legal notice to enable filing a complaint.
  • Non-payment of dues: Businesses often use legal notices to compel clients to clear outstanding payments.
  • Property disputes: Legal notices can demand eviction or settlement in case of illegal occupation.
  • Employment disputes: Wrongful termination or salary withholding can be challenged through a legal notice.
  • Consumer grievances: Buyers can issue notices to sellers or service providers before moving to consumer forums.

Why it’s beneficial:

  • Saves cost and time versus a court battle
  • Demonstrates seriousness and professionalism
  • Encourages prompt out-of-court resolution
  • Establishes a timeline for evidence

In 2023, a Gurgaon-based interior designer recovered ₹3.8 lakh in pending fees from a client after her lawyer issued a 7-day legal notice. The client paid within five days—no court visit, no hassle. Legal notices work when delivered effectively.

Note on Elements of Legal Notice

Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 states, ` By law, a legal notice must be filed by an aggrieved person in civil proceedings before commencing an action. The notice must clearly express:

  • Exact facts and observations identifying the grievance that requires a reply
  • Remedy or relief that is being pursued by the aggrieved person
  • A summary of the grievance and options for resolving the grievance

A full legal warning should contain a detailed statement of the grievance, the consequences for the sender, and the offered terms for settlement. This process should assist both parties in determining the best path to a settlement, if an agreement can be reached.

A legally valid Legal Notice Format must include the following components:

Header and Date

The notice should be on the advocate’s letterhead (if using one), or the sender’s letterhead in case of self-drafting. The top right corner should include the date. Also mention the dispatch mode just above the subject line (e.g., “By Registered Post” or “By Courier”).

Recipient & Sender Details

The full name, residential or office address, contact details (phone/email), and PIN codes of both the sender and the recipient must be clearly mentioned. For businesses, use the registered office address.

Subject Line

Use clear, concise language to describe the nature of the dispute. Example: “Legal Notice Regarding Outstanding Invoice Payment – ₹2,15,000/- Dated 17th April 2025”

Statement of Facts and Grievance

This section forms the backbone of your notice. Explain:

  • Timeline of events leading to the grievance
  • Parties involved
  • Past communications or transactions
  • Breach or default committed

Facts should be chronological and specific, and avoid emotional or defamatory tone.

Legal Basis & Relief Demanded

Cite the applicable legal provisions (e.g., Section 138 of the NI Act, Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act). Then clearly mention what relief is being sought—be it payment, compliance with terms, or cessation of wrongdoing. Include a defined deadline (usually 15 to 30 days) for compliance.

Consequences & Signature

State what action will be taken if the recipient fails to respond—such as legal proceedings, civil or criminal case, or consumer complaint. Conclude with the place, date, and advocate’s signature (or your own if self-drafting), and mention that a copy is being retained.

Advantages of a Legal Notice

Legal Notices are key to the process of dispute resolution and have several benefits.

  • Communicates Intention

A legal warning communicates your intention, formally, to commence legal action if the issue is not resolved. It gives notice to the other party as to the grievance you have and the potential repercussions they will face if it comes to court.

  • Creates a Written Record

A legal document is a written form of communication that will provide evidence of any claim to establish that you have taken the first legal step. This will become important in any litigation.

  • Opportunity for Settlement without Court Intervention

A well-drafted legal notice format outlines the complaint (s), the relief you seek, and any legal remedies that are applicable while providing an opportunity for amicable resolution during a stated time. This often results in the adverse party willing to settle outside of court.

  • Facilitates Mutual Agreement

Because a legal document and any reply to it are formal written statements, those statements are clearer than informal oral communication and provide a basis for negotiations and a greater opportunity for mutual agreement.

  • Cost Effective Method

A legal Intimation is a cost-effective way to assert your legal rights compared to the process of formal litigation. Although costs can vary proportionally to the amount of work involved and who provides the service, in general, this method is the cheaper option.

Legal Notice

Legal Notice Drafting – Step-by-Step

Drafting a legally compliant and persuasive notice is essential. Here’s how:

  1. Consult a Lawyer (if needed): For commercial, contractual, or complex legal matters, a qualified advocate ensures the format and legal content are flawless.
  2. Compile Documentation: Gather all relevant documents—contracts, invoices, email trails, WhatsApp messages, bank statements.
  3. Draft Objectively: The tone should be professional and legal, not accusatory or emotional. Clearly state the problem, legal rights, breach, and what you expect the other party to do.
  4. Review & Finalise: Spelling mistakes, wrong citations, or factual errors can weaken your case. Proofread carefully or let a legal expert vet the final draft.
  5. Maintain a Copy: Save both hard and soft copies for reference. If dispatched by post, preserve the postal slip, acknowledgement card, and envelope.

Real-world analogy: Think of legal notice drafting as blueprinting a house—you can’t afford incorrect measurements. Every clause must be measured, aligned, and solid.

How to Send Legal Notice (Filing & Delivery)

The strength of a legal notice depends not only on its content but also on its delivery.

Recommended Delivery Modes:

  • Registered Post with Acknowledgment Due (RPAD): Most legally accepted, ensures both dispatch and delivery proof.
  • Courier Services with Tracking: Useful when RPAD is delayed or unavailable. Attach tracking and delivery screenshots.
  • Email with Read Receipt: Accepted in civil matters but best used along with a physical copy.
  • Process Servers (in legal proceedings): For court filings, professional servers deliver the notice and file an affidavit of service.

What to Keep:

  • Original notice
  • Postal/courier receipt
  • Acknowledgment card (AD slip)
  • Screen captures of delivery confirmation (for email or courier)

A Mumbai-based IT consultant emailed and couriered a ₹1.2 lakh dues notice. The client called the next morning to settle. Dual-channel delivery ensured credibility.

What Happens After Sending Legal Notice?

Response Options for Recipient:

  • Accept and Settle: Most business disputes resolve at this stage.
  • Reply with Denial: The recipient may deny allegations via a counter-notice.
  • Ignore: Silence or inaction post-deadline may be considered admission by conduct.

Your Next Steps:

  • Send a reminder legal notice if deadline expires without reply.
  • File civil suit, arbitration, consumer complaint or FIR depending on case nature.

Courts often check whether notice was served and responded to. Proper Legal Notice Filing and documentation support your claim and demonstrate your efforts to resolve matters out of court.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistakes in drafting or serving can render your notice ineffective or even backfire. Avoid:

  • Incorrect recipient name or address
  • Vague allegations or incorrect facts
  • No reference to relevant law or section
  • Emotional or threatening language
  • Poor proof of service (no AD slip, courier slip)
  • Missed deadlines or unclear compliance date

Is Issuance of Legal Notice Obligatory?

According to Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, a legal warning is required before working with a legal document and before instituting a suit against the opposite party if the opposite party is the State or a Public officer.  

However, in the majority of civil cases, an advocate may send a legal notice before filing the lawsuit. This is not a legal requirement; instead, it is standard practice. At this step, many suits are settled out of court, and a legal warning is an indication to the opposite party that if the dispute is not resolved, the advocate will take legal action.

Important Details to Identify

  • The person or party obtaining the legal warning is called the defendant or respondent. Legal notices have to have valid reasons to require a response and should similarly have been received and acknowledged by the party being served with the notice.
  •  One of the bigger reasons to use a legal document is to assert integrity and transparency in the legal endeavor. That said, it is possible that the legal warning is not sent to the appropriate parties because of the wrong address or information. There are procedures for that, too.
  • If a legal document has material facts in it that might have an impact on you if the matter goes to court and you disagree, you should consult with a qualified solicitor. For example, consult a civil solicitor about property-related disputes or a family law expert if the dispute is domestic.
  • A response to a legal document, or not, should be determined with a solicitor. The first consultation that you have with a solicitor will help you to determine if a response is required or what your options may be to resolve the issue at hand.
  • If this matter escalates, and the legal intimation turns into a legal suit, responding to the notice is now an important issue. You will want to make sure that you have presented all the facts accurately, and then what your attorney states the proper steps are to move forward legally with the matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Legal Notice is a formal written communication sent to a person or organization with the purpose of alerting them about a complaint and seeking resolution before commencing any legal proceedings.
