Document background
A Strongly Worded Cease And Desist Letter is a critical legal instrument under Austrian law used when formal demands for the cessation of unlawful activities need to be made. This document is typically employed when previous attempts at resolution have failed or when immediate action is required due to serious violations. It combines elements of the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB), Unfair Competition Act (UWG), and other relevant legislation to create a formal demand that carries significant legal weight. The letter should detail specific violations, provide evidence, set clear deadlines for compliance, and outline consequences of non-compliance. It serves as a crucial step before initiating court proceedings and can be used in various contexts, from intellectual property infringement to unfair business practices. The document must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with Austrian legal requirements while maintaining a tone that conveys the severity of the situation without crossing into defamatory territory.
