The Supreme Court recently issued Circular Letter No. 06/BUA.6/HS/SP/IV/2010, which instructs courts within the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction (i.e., military courts, public courts, religious courts, and administrative courts) to publicize - and disclose upon request - many types of information.
According to the Circular Letter, the public shall have the right to access information relating to: (a) decisions and determinations of a given court, whether or not they are final and legally binding; (b) financial information, including court fees, money collected as evidence, legal aid funding, and bail, and; (c) complaint handling and follow-up complaints.
The Circular Letter instructs each court within the Supreme Court system to publicize aforementioned information on their respective official websites, with the exception of non-final, non-legally binding decisions and determinations. Online information will be accessible free of charge.
Information can also be requested in person. It is dictated that officers be appointed at each court to be responsible for providing requested information. Requested information will be provided in the form of photocopy, charges for which will be borne by the requesting applicant.
As the information being made available to the public relates to core operations of the courts, this Circular Letter appears to support increased transparency of the Supreme Court system.
The Supreme Court system, as a brief note, includes most Indonesian courts save a few, such as the Constitutional Court.
The Circular Letter implements, and complies with Law No. 14 of 2008 on the Freedom of Public Information, and Supreme Court Chief Justice Decision No. 144/KMA/SKNIII/2007 on Disclosure of Court Information. However, in the event of conflict between those two regulations, provisions of Law No. 14 of 2008 will prevail.
