Document background
The Cease and Desist Form is a crucial legal instrument in the Philippine legal system, used when an individual or entity needs to formally demand the stoppage of unauthorized, harmful, or infringing activities. This document serves as a preliminary step before pursuing formal legal action and demonstrates the sender's attempt to resolve the issue amicably. The form must comply with Philippine civil law requirements and should clearly outline the legal basis for the demand, typically citing relevant sections of the Civil Code of the Philippines, Intellectual Property Code, or other applicable laws. It's commonly used in cases involving intellectual property infringement, unauthorized use of assets, unfair business practices, or violations of contractual agreements. The document should be drafted with precision, as it may later serve as evidence in court proceedings if the recipient fails to comply with the demands.
