Reading: Our former employee, who left for a better opportunity, received a positive experience letter from us. However, he later filed a criminal case alleging assault and threats. Can the experience letter, issued in good faith, be used in court to show that we wouldn’t have written positive things about him if we had actually harmed him? He has already submitted the letter as proof of his employment, which we haven’t disputed.

The experience letter, issued in good faith, can be used as evidence in court. However, its weight as evidence will depend on the specific details of the case, including the nature of the alleged assault and threats, the content of the letter, and other evidence presented. It’s crucial to consult with a legal professional for advice on how to proceed.
