We are committed to delivering results that matter, providing the assurance that your legal mandates are handled with precision.

Navigating the Legal Requirements for Serving Summons in Kenya

Serving summons in Kenya is a precise legal process governed by the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). These rules, derived from the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21), outline specific methodologies and requirements to ensure the legitimacy of the service. The primary objective is to ensure the defendant is properly informed of the legal action against them. Our process servers meticulously follow these mandates, understanding that incorrect service can lead to significant delays or even dismissal of a case. We are proficient in personal service, the preferred method, where the summons is handed directly to the defendant. When personal service is not feasible, we are skilled in applying for and executing court-ordered substituted service, which may involve affixing the summons to the defendant's last known address or advertising in a newspaper. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd maintains a deep understanding of these nuances, ensuring all actions are legally sound and defensible, upholding the principles of justice for our clients across Kenya.
