Letter Before Action Guide for the UK
A Letter Before Action is a formal warning sent before possible court proceedings. It tells the other party that if the dispute is not resolved you may begin legal action.
What a Letter Before Action is
A Letter Before Action is a formal written warning used before court proceedings. It clearly explains the dispute and gives the other party a final opportunity to resolve the issue.
Courts generally expect people to try resolving disputes before filing a claim. A properly written Letter Before Action can sometimes resolve the problem without the need for court action.
When you might send one
