Essential Elements of a Valid Legal Notice

The supreme court in the case Kamla Nehru Memorial Trust & Anr. v U.P. State Industrial Development Corporation Limited & Ors. laid down the elements for a valid legal notice –

a. It should contain a clear and concise set of facts which convey the information leading to the relevant circumstances. This element is also fulfilled when reference is made to any earlier communications issued between the concerned parties;

b. It should convey the intimation of any impending legal obligation or breach committed by any party;

c. It should convey the intention of the party issuing the communication to hold the other party liable to appropriate legal action or charge; and

d. The communication in toto must be unambiguous and should not mislead or suppress material information. If issued under a Statute, it must comply with the relevant requirements prescribed therein as well.
