The Cease And Desist Letter Defamation is a crucial legal instrument in Danish law used when an individual or organization needs to address damaging false statements made about them. This document is typically employed when defamatory statements have been made that could harm reputation, business relationships, or personal standing. It serves as a formal warning before initiating legal proceedings under Danish law, particularly referencing the Danish Criminal Code (Straffeloven) §267 and related provisions. The letter must clearly identify the defamatory statements, provide evidence of their existence, outline their harmful nature, and demand specific actions such as cessation, removal, and possible retractions. While not a court document, it often serves as important documentation if subsequent legal action becomes necessary.
