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 subcontract arrangement concerned supply of red soil through the respondent to a manufacturer. Two subcontractors participated, but the claimant relies on the payment instruments issued to the claimant for the claimant’s own deliveries.
The claimant received part payment. Postdated cheques issued for the remaining obligation were dishonoured, and replacement instruments did not satisfy the debt. One replacement payment was stopped.
The respondent asserted additional payments and relied on another subcontractor’s proceedings. The claimant disputes that those payments discharged this particular debt or that the other judgment determined the claimant’s separate cause of action.
The claim must reconcile the agreement, delivered quantities, payments and claimant-specific cheques. The original narrative contains figures that do not arithmetically reconcile; the pleaded net amount must come from the actual ledger.
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]
Separate pleaded additional relief, if supported: [identify basis and amount].
The Claimant relies on the contemporaneous records identified in the accompanying list of documents and the witnesses with direct knowledge of payment, performance and the disputed events.
RELIEF SOUGHT
Judgment for KSh [reconciled unpaid amount attributable to this claimant], interest as lawfully determined and assessed costs; reject the unsupported contention that another subcontractor’s judgment bars this claim.
DATED at [place] this [day] of [month] [year].
[Party or advocate signature]
[Name and capacity]
[Address for service]
TO: [opposing party or advocate, verified service details].
