Question: What is a cease and desist letter for defamation, and what does it do?
Answer: In a case of defamation where false statements have been damaging to someone's reputation, you may formally request the party ceases the defamatory statements by issuing a cease and desist letter. This letter informs the other party of the falsity of their statements and the legal repercussions that could follow. It serves as a formal request to stop the defamatory behavior and to correct or retract the false statements made.
