You don't need a lawyer to take your employer to court over unpaid salary — Immani lets you file a dispute against your employer's phone number for KSh 100.

Many people are turned away by the police when they try to report a civil matter, only to be told to go to court. But what does that actually mean? In Kenya, civil matters are disputes between individuals or organizations that don't involve a crime. These disputes can be about things like unpaid wages, broken contracts, or damaged property. The Small Claims Court is a special court that deals with these kinds of cases, and it's designed to be faster and cheaper than regular court.

But going to court can be intimidating, especially if you don't have a lawyer. That's where Immani comes in. Immani is a digital dispute resolution platform that lets you file a dispute against someone's phone number for just KSh 100. You don't need a lawyer, and you don't need to go to court unless you want to.

Here's how it works:

1. You file a dispute against the other person's phone number, describing what happened.
2. Both parties are notified immediately, and they have a short private window to respond and engage directly.
3. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani, which tends to prompt a reply.
4. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they've engaged and reached an understanding.
