The Small Claims Court in Kenya forms part of judicial reform intended to enhance access to justice, reduce backlog of cases and promote ease of doing business. Due to the short timelines in this court, it is expected that this will be achieved.
The pecuniary jurisdiction of the court (Kes 1,000,000/-) is sufficient to cover ‘smaller’ disputes arising from personal and commercial disputes.
