If your case costs less than 10 million shillings, there is something called Small Claims Court. This court allows you to have your case heard and decided as quickly as possible. This helps to focus on the issue between you and the person you are suing.
Because of the money or value of the property involved, the court does not even allow lawyers because ‘they may complicate things.’
All you have to do is write a demand letter to the person you are demanding and ask them to pay you within seven days. If they fail, you may then go to the court and open a case and ask the court to pass judgement in your favour. That person will be called and asked to give their side of the story, and the court will make a decision (judgement) based on this.
