§
How does the Employment Act define constructive dismissal?

Constructive dismissal under section 45 of the Employment Act, 2007 occurs where an employer's conduct, judged objectively, evinces an intention no longer to be bound by an essential term of the contract [1]. The Court of Appeal in [2] held that this is a fact-sensitive inquiry…

The problem
01 — The problem

Manual Kenyan legal research is slow, expensive, and hard to verify.

i.

Scattered sources

Acts on Kenya Law, judgments on the Judiciary portal, gazette notices on yet another site. Stitching them together takes hours.

ii.

No verification at speed

Generic AI tools hallucinate Kenyan case names. Lawyers cannot rely on output they have not personally checked against the original judgment.

iii.

Locked context

A citation is meaningless without the surrounding section. Most search results stop at the headline — DiraAi opens the document at the paragraph.

02 — Product proof

Ask. Receive a cited answer. Click back to the source.

No black box. Every [n] in DiraAi's answer opens the exact paragraph of the underlying Act or judgment.

05 — Trust

What we promise. What we don't.

No hallucinated cases

Every cited Act, section, and judgment is real and retrievable. If DiraAi has not seen a document, it says so explicitly.

Citation-backed answers

Every claim in an answer carries an inline [n] chip. If a sentence has no citation, it is editorial scaffolding — not legal substance.

Privacy first

Your queries are not used to train third-party models. Conversations are encrypted at rest and tied only to your account.

Not legal advice

DiraAi is a research assistant. Output must be verified by a qualified advocate. We are explicit about this on every page.

06 — Workflow

From question to verified source — in a single window.

The answer

A contract for the sale of land must be in writing under Section 3(3) of the Law of Contract Act [1], signed by the parties and attested by a witness [2]. The Court of Appeal has held that part performance may, in limited circumstances, take an oral agreement outside this rule [3].
