Banking litigation in Kenya involves intricate legal challenges governed by statutes such as the Banking Act (Cap. 488), the Central Bank of Kenya Act, the Insolvency Act, 2015, and rules of civil procedure. Disputes can range from contractual claims, fraud allegations, and recovery of debts to regulatory enforcement actions and shareholder disputes. The judiciary, including specialized courts like the Commercial and Admiralty Division of the High Court of Kenya, handles these cases with specific considerations for the financial industry. Our advocates possess a deep understanding of banking law, regulatory frameworks from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), and the procedural intricacies required for successful litigation.
