Document background
A Defamation of Character Letter is utilized when an individual or entity needs to formally address harmful statements that damage their reputation in Indonesia. This document type is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where defamatory content can spread rapidly across various platforms. The letter should be used when there is clear evidence of defamatory statements and documentable harm to reputation or business interests. It serves as a crucial first step in seeking legal remedy, often preceding formal legal action. The document must comply with Indonesian legal requirements, particularly the Criminal Code (KUHP), Civil Code (KUHPer), and the ITE Law for online defamation. It typically includes detailed documentation of the defamatory statements, their context, impact, and specific demands for remedy, while being carefully worded to avoid any potential counter-claims.
