A Cease and Desist Order is a legal directive issued by a regulatory authority demanding that an individual or entity halt a specific activity. This order typically precedes formal legal action and serves as a warning against continued non-compliance. It is employed to stop activities deemed illegal or harmful to consumers or market integrity. Recipients must comply immediately or face further penalties.
