A more thorough explanation: The legal English definition of “threat of litigation” refers to a communication or indication by one party to another that they intend to initiate legal proceedings or take legal action against the other party if certain conditions are not met or if a dispute is not resolved to their satisfaction. This communication typically conveys the possibility of legal consequences or enforcement actions if the recipient does not comply with the demands or expectations outlined in the threat of litigation.
Example: The company received a letter from the plaintiff’s attorney, indicating a threat of litigation if the dispute was not resolved amicably.
