Legal Framework for Disposing of Seized Assets

The disposal of seized assets in Kenya is governed by a robust legal framework designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and maximum value recovery. Depending on the nature of the seizure and the type of asset, various statutes apply. For assets seized under court orders or judgments, the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and its Rules dictate the procedures for attachment and sale, often involving court-appointed auctioneers. Assets seized by regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies may fall under specific legislation related to forfeiture and disposal. Furthermore, the Auctioneers Act (Cap 22) of Kenya meticulously regulates the conduct of auctioneers, ensuring they operate with integrity and adhere to strict ethical standards. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd works in full compliance with these acts, ensuring that every disposal is legally sound and withstands any potential challenge, protecting our clients' interests and reputation.
