questions fully answered.
(a) Will it be advisable to commence with a letter of demand to commence
with the legal action against the hotel and what are the possible benefits for
doing so? (6)
Yes — commencing with a letter of demand before instituting legal action against the hotel
would be highly advisable. Below is a full, exam-style answer worth 20 marks, explaining both
why it is advisable and the possible benefits of doing so.
(a) Advisability of commencing with a letter of demand
It is generally advisable to begin with a letter of demand before instituting legal proceedings
against the hotel. A letter of demand is a formal written notice sent by the aggrieved party
(plaintiff or their legal representative) to the wrongdoer (defendant) informing them of the claim,
the amount or remedy sought, and demanding compliance or payment within a specified
period. It serves as a precursor to legal action, giving the recipient a chance to remedy the
situation without litigation.
The Uniform Rules of Court and general civil procedure do not make a letter of demand a strict
legal requirement in all cases; however, it is a customary and prudent legal step that promotes
fairness, good faith, and efficiency in dispute resolution.
Benefits of sending a letter of demand before commencing legal action
1. Opportunity for settlement (2 marks)
The letter gives the hotel an opportunity to settle the matter amicably without court
intervention. This may lead to negotiation, payment, or corrective action, saving both
parties time and money.
2. Cost-effectiveness (2 marks)
Litigation is expensive. If the hotel complies with the demand, the claimant avoids
paying court filing fees, attorney fees, and other litigation costs.
3. Promotes speedy resolution (2 marks)
The dispute can be resolved faster through direct communication than through lengthy
court proceedings.
