Understanding the Legal Mandate of Bailiffs in Kenya

In Kenya, the authority and responsibilities of bailiffs are clearly defined under statutes such as the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Rules made thereunder. Bailiffs, often appointed by the courts or acting under the direction of authorized decree-holders, are empowered to execute court orders. This includes the seizure and sale of movable and immovable property to satisfy judgments, as well as enforcing other judicial pronouncements like eviction orders. The process is governed by strict procedures to prevent abuse and ensure fairness. For instance, the Order 23 of the Civil Procedure Rules outlines the steps for attachment and sale of property, a core function of bailiff services. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd operates with a profound respect for these legal mandates, ensuring every action taken is legally sound and ethically executed. Our understanding extends to geographical nuances within Kenya, from Nairobi to Mombasa, ensuring consistent service delivery.
