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 payer engaged the recruitment service in connection with proposed employment abroad for two adult sons. The contemplated destination was Romania. Payments were made through bank and mobile-money channels.
The service provider proposed a different destination in the United Arab Emirates. The payer’s claim was that the change had not been agreed and the promised recruitment service had not been supplied on the original basis.
The service provider asserted expenditure on medical, visa and related steps and disputed the sum received. The payer seeks only the refund properly established after accounting for payments, reversals and any legally justified adjustment.
The payment history includes a reversed transfer followed by retransmission and a disputed entry involving a third party. These entries require separate treatment to avoid counting a reversed payment or a duplicate credit twice.

Less payments, refunds and credits attributable to this transaction: KSh [B]
Less any legally justified adjustment admitted by the Claimant: KSh [C]
