A legal Notice in Pakistan is sent to someone for many reasons, a few of which are mentioned here;-

  2. As a Warning – This is a notice that is more commonly used to warn someone that you are willing to take legal action until and unless they do something you are requesting to resolve your issue, the best example being debt recovery.

What should a Legal Notice in Pakistan consist of?

A legal notice in Pakistan can be sent by one of these 3 people:-

  1. By the individual issuing it directly
  2. Through a lawyer representing an individual or a company
  3. Through an individual in possession and control of a Power of Attorney

Your legal notice should have the sender’s name and address, the receiver’s name and address, and the cause of action (for the legal notice). You mention the cause of notice should be legally accurate, and in the ideal situation, you should add citations to the law when necessary. If you are open to resolving the matter amicably (especially if you are using it as a means of legal arbitration) then add your demands to it as well.

Respondent has also failed to mention date when cause of action has arisen in his favour and before approaching learned consumer court he had issued any legal notice to appellant or not–whereas under section28(1) & (3) of act issuance of notice is mandatory and without such legal notice complaint cannot be filed

What you should do if you receive a Legal Notice in Pakistan?

Courts often appreciate parties that use legal notices, as it shows that they tried to resolve the matter out of court, amicably. If you have received a legal notice, then you have one of two options; to either comply with their demands or to send a rebuttal by sending a response to the legal notice. Some people ignore legal notices, but we would never recommend that, as judges will never see that in a positive light.
