REPUBLIC OF KENYA
IN THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT AT MILIMANI, NAIROBI
CASE NO [number] OF [year]
[Claimant] — CLAIMANT
VERSUS
[Respondent] — RESPONDENT
STATEMENT OF CLAIM SUPPORTING PARTICULARS
The Claimant seeks relief for the transaction described below. These particulars accompany the current prescribed Form SCC 1; the signed form supplies the parties’ legal descriptions and service particulars.
The pleaded basis for Milimani venue is [evidenced Nairobi place of transaction or respondent’s business/residence]. The principal claimed is KSh [verified net amount]; the Claimant relies on the court’s contract or money-held jurisdiction as applicable to the completed facts.
The seller delivered a complete replacement engine to the buyer for an agreed price. The delivery note recorded a seven-day guarantee. The seller’s position was that payment was due after the agreed payment interval.
The buyer asserted that payment depended on installation and satisfactory operation. The seller disputes that this altered the agreed payment obligation and relies on the actual delivery note and contemporaneous communications.
The engine was subsequently returned in a dismantled state without the seller’s authorisation. The seller declined that return and sought the unpaid purchase price.
The buyer alleged a defect and a replacement arrangement. The seller requires those assertions to be established by admissible evidence and the actual complaint chronology, rather than assuming that dismantling proves a defect present at delivery.
PARTICULARS OF THE SUM CLAIMED
Total proved payment or contract price: KSh [A]
Less payments, refunds and credits attributable to this transaction: KSh [B]
Less any legally justified adjustment admitted by the Claimant: KSh [C]
Net principal sought: KSh [A minus B minus C]
