Legal Framework for Equipment Repossession in Kenya

The process of repossessing equipment in Kenya is strictly governed by specific legal statutes designed to protect both the financier and the debtor. Key legislation includes the Hire Purchase Act, Cap 507, which details the rights and obligations of parties in hire purchase agreements, and the Chattels Transfer Act, Cap 28, concerning the transfer of ownership of movable property. Security interests, such as those created under loan agreements and loan facility agreements, are also paramount. It is essential for repossession agents to act within the bounds of these laws, ensuring that the correct legal procedures, including proper notice periods and methods of seizure, are followed to avoid unlawful detainer or conversion claims. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd strictly adheres to these legal requirements, ensuring all repossessions are conducted lawfully and ethically.
