Define ‘Demands’
Refer to case law
To “demand” is to require or ask for something firmly, as though with authority or as of right.
_R v Heard _
“The form of words used for a demand does not matter. “Demand” is a strong word, but … a demand does not have to be couched in abusive terms, so long as it is clear that it is a request for something.”
