1. Definition & Core Purpose A Show Cause Letter (SCL) is a formal written demand requiring an individual or entity to explain, justify, or provide reasons against an intended action (e.g., termination, penalty, suspension, contract termination, academic dismissal). It is a pre-decisional procedural safeguard rooted in natural justice principles: audi alteram partem ("hear the other side").
