Our Process Serving Procedure & Compliance Standards
Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd follows a rigorous process when serving legal documents across Kenya, ensuring adherence to the Civil Procedure Rules and Order V of the Civil Procedure Rules governing the service of summons. Upon receiving your request, we verify the details of the documents and the parties involved. Our process servers are trained to locate the correct individual or entity efficiently, employing skip tracing techniques when necessary. We prioritize serving the documents at the defendant's residence, place of work, or any other location where they are likely to be found, as stipulated by law.
Once served, our process servers meticulously complete an Affidavit of Service, detailing the date, time, place, and manner of service. This affidavit is then commissioned by a Commissioner for Oaths, providing sworn evidence that is admissible in any Kenyan court. This detailed documentation is critical for advancing your case and is provided to you promptly. We also maintain a secure record of all served documents and affidavits, ensuring compliance and offering peace of mind.
