Short answer
Business warranty and indemnity enquiries should identify the transaction documents, warranty or indemnity relied on, notice clause, alleged breach, knowledge records, loss calculation, mitigation steps and pre-action correspondence. Legal4U cannot decide liability, quantum or whether a notice is valid.
