Last week, I ex­plained what a pre-ac­tion pro­to­col let­ter was, the need to have one is­sued be­fore pro­ceed­ing to court and the ben­e­fits of such a let­ter. We will con­tin­ue from that point. At this stage, we will con­sid­er that a pre-ac­tion let­ter was is­sued to a po­ten­tial de­fen­dant out­lin­ing a le­gal con­cern and re­quir­ing the po­ten­tial de­fen­dant to re­spond to the let­ter in 21 days, fail­ing which the mat­ter will pro­ceed to court. The po­ten­tial de­fen­dant, de­spite re­ceiv­ing the let­ter, fails to re­spond, make con­tact with your at­tor­ney, or re­solve the mat­ter in any mean­ing­ful way. It is now in­cum­bent on you to ad­vise your at­tor­ney to pro­ceed with fil­ing your le­gal ac­tion in court.
