A notice should have a defined purpose
A notice may record a demand, identify a breach, preserve a position, invite resolution or comply with a statutory precondition. Not every dispute requires the same notice or timeframe.
Material commonly reviewed
Agreements, invoices, account statements, receipts, acknowledgements, correspondence, delivery records, prior notices and limitation dates can be important.
- Written agreement or transaction record
- Invoices and payment history
- Messages and acknowledgements
- Correct names and addresses of parties
A response should not be improvised
A received notice should be read with the underlying documents. Deadlines, admissions, denials, jurisdiction and further proceedings require deliberate review rather than an emotional reply.
