GENERAL
The implementation of judicial power is submitted to judicature institution with The
Law Number 14 Year 1970 regarding The Stipulations of Main Judicial Power as a
guidance. Those issues are the main and general framework that put the foundation
and judicature principle and also a compass for circles of general judicature , religion
judicature, military judicature, business administration judicature that are organized
in each individual Law.
In the explanation of Article 3 verse (1) Law Number 14 Year 1970 is mentioned that
civil settlement outside the court based on the reconciliation or through arbitration is
allowed, but the arbiter verdict has just executorial power after obtaining a permit or
an order to execution (executoir) from the court.
During this time the foundation of arbitration investigation that is used in Indonesia,
is Article 615 to Article 651 Civil Agenda Regulation (Reglement op de Rechtsvordering,
Staatsblad 1847:52) and Article 377 The Renew Indonesian Regulation (Het Herziene
Indonesisch Reglement, Staatsblad 1941:44) and Article 705 Agenda Regulation For
Outside Java and Madura (Rechtsreglement Buitengewesten, Staatsblad 1927:227).
In the general arbitration institution has excesses compared with judicature
institution. Those excesses are:
a. the secrecy of the parties is guarantee;
b. can avoid the delay that is caused by the procedure things and administrative;
c. the parties can choose an arbiter that is believed has a knowledge, experience
and sufficient background related to the lawsuit, honest and fair; and
d. arbiter verdict is the verdict that bind the parties and through simple procedure
or directly can be implemented.
The fact of the issue that mentioned above is not true entirely, because in the certain
countries judicature process can be faster more than arbitration process. The only
excess of arbitration toward the court is the characteristic of the secrecy because the
decision is not publicated. Therefore the lawsuit settlement through arbitration still
more interesting than litigation, especially for international business contract.
With the trade development and traffic development in commerce both in national
and international also law development in general, thus the system on the Civil
Agenda Regulation (Reglement op de Rechtvordering) that is used as an arbitration com
pass, is not already appropriate, therefore it is needed to redo because international
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________PT. ERM INDONESIA
Act30-1999.PDF 24
trade regulation is necessity of conditio sine qua non meanwhile those issue are not
arranged in Civil Agenda Regulation. Concerning this condition, it is time to
implement the basis changes toward Civil Agenda Regulation (Reglement op de
Rechtvordering) both in philosophy or substantively.
Arbitration that is arranged in the law is the way of lawsuit settlement outside the
public judicature based on the written agreement from the lawsuit parties. But not all
lawsuits can be solves through arbitration, except just for a lawsuit about the right
according to law is dominated entirely by the lawsuit parties as based on their
agreement.
Those issues are intended to keep the lawsuit settlement through arbitration not
become protracted. On the other side the process of state court where the arbitration’s
verdict, still can propose an appeal and the jurisdiction of the highest court beyond,
thus in process of lawsuit settlement through arbitration does not have opportunity to
do an appeal law effort and resurvey.
In order to organize an intact formal law, this Law contains stipulation regarding the
implementation of national arbitration duty or international arbitration duty.
Chapter VI explains regarding the arrangement of verdict implementation in one set,
in order that this Law can operated to verdict implementation, both related to
national arbitration problem or international and it is corrected in the law system.
Chapter VII arrange about the cancellation of arbitration verdict. It is enabled because
of several things, among other below:
a. letter or document that is proposed in the investigation, after the verdict is
being brought down and admitted counterfeit or declared counterfeit;
b. after the verdict is being taken and found that the determining document is
being concealed intentionally by the accused; or
c. the verdict is being taken from the result of deceit that is done by one of the
party in lawsuit investigation.
Further more in Chapter VIII is arranged about the ends of arbiter duty, which
asserted that the arbiter duty ended because the length time of the arbiter duty have
been finish or the both parties agree to redraw the arbiter appointment. The death of
one of party not result in the duty that have been given to arbiter end.
