What is a letter of demand?
A letter of demand is a formal written notice requesting payment or compliance before legal proceedings are commenced. It is often the first step in resolving a dispute.
Can civil disputes be settled out of court?
Yes. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation without proceeding to trial.
What happens if someone ignores a court judgment?
If a party fails to comply with a court judgment, enforcement action may be taken, including garnishee orders or property seizure, depending on the circumstances.
