Frequently Asked Questions

Tenthlining is the practice of numbering every tenth line of a legal document in the right-hand margin, restarting the count at the top of each new page. It's a formatting requirement under Kenyan court practice directions, Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, and High Court, for pleadings, affidavits, and court bundles, and it makes documents easier to reference during hearings.

Tenth lining (also written as "tenthlining") refers to numbering every tenth line of a legal document in the right-hand margin. Kenyan courts require this so that judges, attorneys, and clerks can quickly cite specific lines during proceedings. Tenthliner is a tenthlining tool that automates this process so you don't have to do it manually. Read our full guide to tenthlining for the legal basis behind the rule.
