Court Annexed
Mediation
Facilitating access to justice through reconciliation, mediation, and collaborative dispute resolution in accordance with Article 159(2)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya.
Mediation as a Pathway
to Justice
Court Annexed Mediation (CAM) was introduced by the Judiciary to alleviate case backlog and in line with Article 159(2)(c) of the Constitution which mandates the Judiciary to promote alternative forms of dispute resolution including reconciliation, mediation, arbitration, and traditional dispute resolution mechanisms.
The Judiciary has been implementing mediation as an initiative to promote Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) since 2016. This is in tandem with the Social Transformation through Access to Justice (STAJ) Vision which seeks to expand the doorways of justice.
There are many success stories of families reunited, contractual relations restored, and cases settled within a few mediation sessions that had previously remained in court for years. CAM has restored over 8,115 relationships between disputing families and generated approximately KES 52.2 Billion in resolved case value.
The New Court Annexed Mediation Rules, 2022 provide for Private Mediation Agreements, enabling parties to forward agreements for registration and enforcement without filing pleadings as in the adversarial process.
