Understanding the Legal Framework for Debt Recovery in Kenya
In Kenya, debt recovery litigation is governed by a robust legal framework designed to protect both creditors and debtors. Key legislation includes the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Evidence Act (Cap 80), which dictate the procedural and evidentiary standards for all civil suits, including debt recovery. Furthermore, specific legislation like the Banking Act (Cap 488) and the Mortgage High Court Act, 2001 may apply depending on the nature of the debt and the parties involved. Mwenda Njagi & Co.

It typically begins with a demand letter, formally notifying the debtor of the outstanding amount and providing a reasonable period for payment. If the debtor fails to respond or pay, the next step is filing a plaint with the appropriate court, depending on the monetary value of the debt. This plaint, along with supporting documentation such as loan agreements, invoices, and demand letters, forms the basis of the claim. Mwenda Njagi & Co.

Throughout the litigation, we manage service of process, attend court hearings, present evidence, and respond to any defenses raised by the debtor, striving for an efficient resolution, whether through negotiation, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), or a court judgment.
