Section 30 of the Kenyan Small Claims Court Act

Section 30 of the Kenyan Small Claims Court Act allows parties to proceed with their cases by submitting written submissions instead of oral testimony, as long as all parties agree. This means the court can decide the case based on the documents and statements presented. 

Key points about Section 30:

• Written Submissions:

Parties can choose to have their cases decided based on written submissions, eliminating the need for witnesses to testify in court.

• Agreement of Parties:

This process requires the agreement of all parties involved in the proceedings.

• Court's Decision:

The court can then make a decision based on the documents and statements provided.
