Demand for Payment Letter to Business
Budget: $15 – $25 CAD
Here is the project
Fact Scenario:
Mable Heinz attended our office on May 15, 2020, regarding a civil dispute with her neighbor, Janice Smythe. Mable alleged that Janice cut down a tree in her backyard; she claims it was her property and belonged to her. She also says that Janice cut it down while she was out of the house and never told her she was going to cut it down. This happened on May 12, 2020.
However, the parties do not have a fence between their property. Janice argues that it was on her property. The tree was planted by Mable fifteen years prior to this incident. It was a very expensive tree ($25,000). Janice moved into her house two years prior to the incident.
Mable claims that Janice told her after she had already cut down the tree that it was overtaking her backyard and she did not have any sun for her garden. She also said that Janice looked at her RPR to see where the property line was and saw that the tree was on her property, so she went ahead, and had it cut down.
A) Describe how the matter should proceed:
1.
Initial contact with Janice by your lawyer.
2.
Next step if not successful in 1.
3.
Jurisdiction to bring this matter to Court.
B) To simulate the office environment, please do the following:
1.
Open a file: describe how you would open a file by listed the steps necessary when a lawyer is retained as well as what should be included in a file, both physical and electronic (please be creative with addresses and other personal information for the parties involved).
2.
Prepare the Retainer Agreement to be sent to Mable, listing the retainer amount to be paid of $2,000 (please be creative with the firm letterhead).
3.
Advise as to how you would keep track of this file.
4.
Once retained, draft correspondence to client requesting her disclosure (you will need to be creative and come up with what type of disclosure you believe would be necessary and help her case, as well as use your best legal writing in the letter).
5.
Draft a demand letter to opposing party requesting remedies (please research remedies available to our client and list in your letter).
The tone of the letter should be firm but polite. The primary outcome sought is financial compensation for the tree valued at $25,000.
Use a professional legal writing format for all correspondence and documentation. Deliverables should be in editable Word document format. The primary outcome sought is full financial compensation of $25,000 for the tree.
The final deliverables should include detailed legal analysis and comprehensive correspondence, thoroughly covering all legal aspects of the situation. The demand letter should highlight the financial loss of $25,000 and the impact on Mable.
The project should be completed within today. Please use professionally accepted formats for all legal documentation. Focus only on the current case facts and legal correspondence.
