24 Hour Deadline to Publish Supreme Court Rulings

Happy Ratna Stephany, Yanuar Pribadhie

2013 has been a good year for the Supreme Court. It was successful in adopting two breakthroughs that will improve its performance and service to the public. The first was adopting the One Day Publish (ODP) rule and the second the chamber system.

Under the ODP, Supreme Court decisions must be published on the Court’s official website within 24 hours after being decided.  This policy is intended to prevent court insiders from gaining monetary benefit by selling copies of Supreme Court decisions.

“Since it is a new policy, there are still flaws, and late publication still occurs. In such cases, the court clerk plays a very important role, by keeping an eye on cases so that rulings can be published within 24 hours,” said, Hatta Ali, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Although the ODP may enable court rulings to be published promptly, the same cannot be said for court records. Hatta admits that court records take longer to publish than rulings, as they require coordination with the first instance court and the court of appeals.

“We hope that each court is able to make every document available in electronic form. There should also be a standardized format for judgments. If all goes accordingly, work would be much easier,” continued Hatta.

Summing up the Supreme Court’s achievements in 2013 with the ODP, Hatta also emphasized the efficiency of his institutions under the new chamber system. Under this system, cases can now be handled by experienced judges.  Presiding judges must also determine hearing schedules within 3 months after receiving court documents.

“This year’s achievements are outstanding. With 50 Justices, we could decide 15,556 cases. This is the highest number in the past 5 years,” said Hatta.
