The Demand Letter For Breach of Contract is a critical legal instrument under German law used when one party has failed to fulfill their contractual obligations. It serves as a formal notification required under § 286 of the German Civil Code (BGB) to establish default (Verzug) and initiate potential legal proceedings. This document should be used when informal attempts to resolve a contract breach have failed and formal action is necessary. It must include specific details about the contract, nature of the breach, quantified damages, clear demands, and reasonable deadlines for compliance. The letter's format and content are influenced by German legal requirements and business practices, making it an essential tool for contract enforcement in German jurisdiction. The document plays a crucial role in dispute resolution and can serve as important evidence in subsequent legal proceedings.
