WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT IN KENYA

The Small Claims Courts in Kenya can be said to have been set up by the Judiciary branch of government to help deal with the issue of too many cases being filed in the Magistrate’s Courts of Kenya. Without the Small Claims Court, the Magistrate’s Courts are usually overwhelmed with too many cases and this can result in backlogs and the overworking of Magistrates. The upshot of the above is that matters, take longer to be determined.

WHAT YOU NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE MOVING TO COURT

Kenyans are very litigious in nature. However, it can be quite interesting and sometimes even embarrassing to witness or see what can only be considered rookie mistakes by parties, when attending Court. Courts are avenues of justice where most Kenyans strongly believe that they can right the wrongs that have befallen them in life.
