Overview

The process of seeking justice through the courts of law can be a long and complicated one in Indonesia. Moreover, in order to obtain a final-and-binding decision, it is likely that the relevant parties will have to endure an appeal and cassation process that may ultimately take several years to complete.[1]

Unfortunately, however, even when claimants have already secured a final-and-binding decision, it is not unusual for the losing parties to refuse to voluntarily enforce the decision of the relevant court. As a result, a mechanism and procedure exist under Indonesian civil law which can be invoked by winning parties so that they can seek help from the state as regards the execution of the relevant court decisions. This process is commonly known as the execution procedures.[2]
