A Defamation Letter is a crucial legal instrument in Danish jurisdiction when addressing harmful statements that damage reputation or business standing. This document serves as the first formal step in seeking legal remedies for defamation, preceding potential court action. The letter must carefully balance the protections provided under Danish law against defamation (primarily through the Straffeloven) with the constitutional right to freedom of expression. When drafting a Defamation Letter, it's essential to include specific details about the defamatory statements, evidence of their publication, demonstration of harm, and clear demands for remedy. The document is typically used when informal attempts at resolution have failed but before initiating formal legal proceedings, providing the accused party with an opportunity to address the situation without court intervention.
