Should I send a legal notice before filing a civil case?

Civil Cases & Dispute Resolution

A legal notice is useful in many disputes but is not universally required before every civil claim.

A notice can:

  • demand performance;
  • record default;
  • preserve a timeline;
  • open settlement discussions;
  • satisfy a contractual notice clause.

Where a statute or contract requires prior notice, compliance becomes more important.
