The Legal Mandate and Role of Court Auctioneers in Kenya

In Kenya, court auctioneers operate under strict legal provisions, primarily derived from the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Auctioneers Act, 2010. They are licensed by the Directorate of Auctioneers and are required to act impartially, upholding the integrity of the judicial process. Their fundamental role is to execute court orders for the attachment and sale of movable and immovable property. This includes serving proclamation notices, taking inventory of assets, conducting public auctions, and remitting the proceeds to the decree holder or the court, after deducting their statutory fees. For creditors in Nairobi seeking to enforce judgments, engaging competent court auctioneers is a crucial step to ensure their rights are protected and that the auction process is conducted according to the law, preventing any challenges that could derail the recovery process.
