Document background
The Intent To Sue Letter is a crucial document in Indonesian legal practice that serves as a formal prerequisite before initiating litigation. It is required under Indonesian civil procedure to demonstrate good faith attempts at dispute resolution before proceeding to court. The document typically includes detailed facts of the dispute, legal basis for claims, specific demands, and a reasonable timeline for response. It's particularly important as Indonesian courts often look favorably upon parties who have made clear attempts to resolve disputes amicably before litigation. The letter must be drafted carefully to ensure it meets all formal requirements under Indonesian law and can later serve as evidence in court proceedings if necessary. It's commonly used in commercial disputes, contract breaches, property matters, and other civil cases where formal notification of intended legal action is required.
