A Legal notice is a formal communication to a person or entity informing them that you intend to undertake legal proceedings against them. It is a step taken before filing a suit, and/or to warn the other party that legal action may be taken against them, if they fail to comply with some specified condition. It is a legal concept describing a requirement that a party be aware of legal process affecting their rights, obligations or duties. An example can be when an employer has to follow procedure to deal with unauthorized absenteeism or desertion of an employee.
