How to send or reply to a Legal Notice?
The first thought that may come to a person mind, ‘Do I really need a lawyer to send the notice, or why not do it myself?’
The answer is simple. When you, a non-legal person, draft the notice, there are several chances of making wrong arguments or present the case in a different manner than what it should’ve been. You might make the case work against for you. A lawyer has skills that you don’t.
Skills like legal drafting, research, reasoning, and argumentative skills adding to legal practice make the lawyer a qualified person. Further, a lawyer spends considerable time with respect to choice of words, language, consequences, evidentiary value, and the interest of the Client.
Preparation: Connect with an experienced lawyer who is well-versed in drafting and research skills. Though you may send in any Indian language, it is advised that you stick to English as it is the most preferred by many. Gather details of the opposing party such as name, occupation, age, address, and so on.
Consultation: Talk to your lawyer and explain the entire incident such as the parties involved, nature of the dispute, how/when/where happened, previous attempts, and other pieces of evidence.
Drafting: An important stage in responding to a legal notice is the drafting. The language must be in plain English that communicates the issue clearly, justify the claims/damages/penalties, provide time-bound response time, and desired action.
Sending: The lawyer then sends the drafted and approved legal notice through Registered Post and retain a copy of the notice as well as the acknowledgment.
