Can Small Claims Court help with informal or shallow contracts — what if you had a very basic agreement? — Immani lets you file a dispute against the other party's phone number, even with a basic agreement, for KSh 100. Many Kenyans have informal or shallow contracts, especially when dealing with small businesses or individuals. These agreements might be verbal or written, but they often lack the formalities of a traditional contract. When a dispute arises, it can be challenging to know where to turn. The usual advice is to go to Small Claims Court, but this process can be lengthy and costly. You'll need to file a claim, wait for a hearing, and possibly hire a lawyer. This can take months, and the outcome is never guaranteed. How Immani works in this specific context:

1. You file a dispute against the other party's phone number, describing the issue and the basic agreement you had.
2. The other party is notified immediately and has a short private window to respond.
3. If they don't respond, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up their phone number on Immani.
4. You can engage directly and try to reach an understanding.
5. If you reach an agreement, you can close the dispute and confirm the resolution. What happens next, concretely:

• Your dispute is filed and the other party is notified.
• You can engage directly and try to reach an understanding.
• If you reach an agreement, you can close the dispute and confirm the resolution. Immani and Immani Legal AI are not law firms and do not provide legal advice. This post is general information, not legal advice for your specific situation. For complex cases, consult a qualified advocate.
