Why do I need a cease and desist letter?

A carefully written cease and desist letter is a very powerful tool in the enforcement of intellectual property protection. You will need a cease and desist letter when you want the recipient to stop the infringement before resorting to legal action. It is an efficient warning that offers the infringer the option to solve the problem out of court.

Should the letter specify a deadline for responding?

Providing the recipient with a deadline for ceasing the infringing action gives more weight to your letter and compels the recipient to react quickly. The deadline should remain reasonable, eg. fifteen working days for a copyright infringement.

Within the date specified in the letter, the recipient must stop any infringing behaviour and must undertake the following actions :

For copyright infringement : credit the copyright holder in the infringing work and/or pay the copyright holder a fee for use of the workFor trademark infringement : deliver for destruction all materials including the trademark, and withdraw any application for the registration of trademarkFor design and patent infringement : try to recover all stocks of infringing items from purchasers and deliver them up for destruction

The prerogative writ is used to direct the behavior of another arm of government, such as an agency, official, or other court. It was originally available only to the Crown under English law, and reflected the discretionary prerogative and extraordinary power of the monarch. There are traditionally six comprising writs that may also be used as an extraordinary writ or extraordinary remedy.

Six writs are traditionally classified as prerogative writs.

Writ of Quo Warranto ...Latin term for "By what warrant"The Quo Warranto Writ is used to order a person requiring them to show evidence of what right or authority they have to exercise a power that they claim to hold.

1. If the Crown Prosecution Service is under the Monarchy by Common Law and bound in office of the constitution to the sovereign oath, then why does it use “statute law” (i.e. admiralty law- a fiction) to prosecute? Common law states: “not to enter into mischievous contracts or promises”. Yet, they do so with The Law Society that operates using legalese, i.e. a style that uses the abstruse (Difficult to penetrate; incomprehensible to one of ordinary understanding or knowledge) technical vocabulary of the law in order to confuse the layman. This is not constitutional.
2. If it is under the Crown Temple (a corporation-a fiction) and the UK is also a corporation as registered on “Dun and Bradstreet”, then the Attorney General’s Office would also come under the corporation of The Ministry of justice and is also registered as such. It appears that these two corporations are in co-conspiracy as corporate revenue collection companies using “Statute ACTS “ (the force of law yet a fiction) and administering and manipulating justice in corporate courts as arbitrators not judges by deceiving the people using admiralty law.
Where can the justice be if pecuniary deception in order to obtain advantage is the motivation, and they are deceiving the public by using fictional corporation and fictional statute law above the Common Law?
Given the City of London is a State and a corporation unto itself and separate from England, by what "Quo Warranto" does it have to grant “any authority” as a corporation to The CPS and The law Society (whom are also within the borders of this independent City), to prosecute the people of the land “outside of it's borders” using fictional statute & mercantile law above the common law and who grants this said power and by what right as a fictional corporation?
A company can be party to a criminal conspiracy, but only with at least two other conspirators who are human beings - including at least one who is an appropriate officer of the company and acting within the scope of his authority.

These writs are called prerogative writs because they are supposed to be docketed ahead of all other cases except other prerogative writs. The demandant represents the sovereign, the people., The writ is unlike a petition or motion to show cause, because the burden of proof is on the respondant, not on the demandant.The right involved is that of the respondant to present his evidence.

The Habeas corpus act 1679.

Writ of Habeas Corpus...Latin term for "The Habeas Corpus Writ is used to demand that a prisoner be taken before the court to determine whether there is lawful authority to detain the person.During the reign of king Charles II, It was passed by what became known as the habeas corpus parliament.The writ of habeas corpus has existed in various forms in England through at least 5 centuries before this is thought to have originated in the 12th century assize of clarendon, It was guaranteed, But not created, by the magna Carta in 1215.It was passed that "No freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, deprived wrongfully by force or exiled, nor will we go or send upon him except upon the lawful judgement of his peers or the law of the land." In criminal matters other than treason and felonies, the act gave prisoners or third parties acting on their behalf the right to challenge their detention by demanding from the Lord Chancellor Justices of the King's Bench, and the Barons of the Exchequer of the jurisdiction a judicial review of their imprisonment. The act laid out certain times and location conditions under which prisoners had to be brought before the courts. Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to avoid the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.Old tendencies towards the beliefs in the catholic  churches and the absolute monarchy and their supreme authority proved little to lessen this, however, the careful, wise and watchful handling of this matter by parliament who were determined to pass an Act enshrining (preserving and protecting) the Habeas Corpus. This was an ancient English right that, if a man was imprisoned by a local lord, his friends could request the king to issue a writ commanding the man who "has the body" (Habeas Corpus) of the prisoner to bring the prisoner before a magistrate for a proper trial. Under a tyrannous cruel and unjust king, such as Charles I, the process could be willfully ignored.In 1679, Parliament passed the Habeas Corpus Act against future abuse. Basically the habeas corpus act is protected by the kings bench it cannot be abused or the act squashed. The king gave royal approval before stepping down as king" the king has the veto power in parliament along with sharing with the other legislative assembly" to PASS the act where it can never be dissolved or dismissed.The following are the main provisions.Whereas great delays have been used by sheriffs (Judges) who hold a person in their custody and if any of the king’s subjects have been committed for criminal or supposed criminal matters by their yielding obedience to [writs of Habeas Corpus], contrary to their duty and the known laws of the land many of the king’s subjects where detained for long periods of time in prison in many cases by law they were bailable.For the prevention and a more speedy relief of all persons imprisoned for any such criminal or supposed criminal matters, be it enacted by the king’s most excellent Majesty, by and with the consent of the lords that whenever any person or persons shall bring a claim of habeas corpus directed to a sheriff (Judge) that the said officer shall WITHIN 3 DAYS "bring the body of evidence" who has been unlawfully held or imprisoned before the lord chancellor, unless the detained body has been placed beyond the distance of 20 MILES from the place where the person is or shall be residing, and if beyond the distance of 20 MILES and NOT OVER 100 MILES then within 10 DAYS and not longer. Unless approved by the authority before hand, that if any officer or officers shall neglect or refuse to bring the prisoner before hand [he]shall for the first offence shall forfeit to the prisoner or the person acting on the prisoners behalf the sum of £100 which later went up to £500 when written in to the magna carta such amount will be approved by the authorities stated before hand, That the prisoner shall not at any time after again be unlawfully imprisoned or recommitted for the same offence other than by the legal order and process of such  an appropriate court ( hence where the double jeopardy law came into play) be it further approved by the authorities agreed before hand, that it shall and may be lawful to and for any prisoner as agreed before hand to move and obtain his claim of habeas corpus as well out of the high court of chancery or court of exchequer as out of the court of king’s bench or common pleas.The law still Legal stands as it can never be squashed and many parents and families have a legal criminal case against childrens services who operate under your local council and whoever unlawfully forcibly removes a child from there home and family in England and Wales aswell as Northern Ireland either by force or fraud, lead or take away, or decoy or entice away or detain, any child under the age of fourteen years, with intent to deprive any parent, guardian, or other person having the lawful care or charge of such child of the possession of such child, or with intent to steal any article upon or about the person of such child, to whomsoever such article may belong, and whosoever shall, with any such intent, receive or harbour any such child, knowing the same to have been, by force or fraud, led, taken, decoyed, enticed away, or detained, as in this section before mentioned, shall be guilty of felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at the discretion of the court, to be kept in penal servitude for any term not exceeding seven years . . . F2 or to be imprisoned . . . F3. Provided, that no person who shall have claimed any right to the possession of such child, or shall be the mother or shall have claimed to be the father of an illegitimate child, shall be liable to be prosecuted by virtue hereof on account of the getting possession of such child, or taking such child out of the possession of any person having the lawful charge thereof.HABEAS CORPUSContents of this PartTitleNumberI – SCOPE AND INTERPRETATIONScope and interpretation of this PartRule 87.1II – APPLICATIONS TO THE HIGH COURT FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FOR RELEASEHow to make the application for the writ of habeas corpus for release   Rule 87.2 -
