Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between arbitration and litigation in Kenya?
Litigation involves resolving a dispute in a public court of law before a judge, which can be lengthy and public. Arbitration is a private, out-of-court process where an independent arbitrator makes a binding decision. Arbitration is generally faster and highly preferred in commercial contracts.
How long does a commercial lawsuit take in Kenya?
The duration of a commercial lawsuit varies widely depending on the complexity of the case, the court's backlog, and whether the decision is appealed. It can take anywhere from a few months to several years. This is why our firm strongly advocates for mediation and arbitration where appropriate.
Can a foreign judgement be enforced in Kenya?
Yes, foreign judgments can be enforced in Kenya under the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act, provided the judgment originates from a designated country that has a reciprocal agreement with Kenya, and the judgment is final and conclusive.
