Document background
The Cease And Desist Letter Non Compete is a crucial legal instrument used in the Philippine business environment when a former employee or business partner violates non-compete obligations. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence of competitive activities that breach previously signed agreements, such as working for direct competitors or soliciting clients within a restricted period or geographic area. The letter must be drafted in compliance with Philippine Civil Code provisions, Labor Code regulations, and relevant jurisprudence on restrictive covenants. It serves as both a formal warning and a prerequisite to potential legal action, documenting the specific violations, demanding immediate cessation of prohibited activities, and outlining consequences of non-compliance. The document should be precise in identifying the violated terms, provide evidence of breaches, and set reasonable deadlines for compliance, all while ensuring enforceability under Philippine law.
