Abstract

The Business Judgment Rule (BJR) serves as a fundamental doctrine in corporate law, protecting company directors from personal liability when they act in good faith, exercise due diligence, and avoid conflicts of interest. However its recognized importance in safeguarding directors’ discretion, Indonesian lawmakers and courts have not fully developed its application, as shown by limited statutory codification, inconsistent judicial interpretation, and insufficient empirical analysis, thereby hindering coherent corporate governance and generating uncertainty in directors’ decision-making authority. This study analyzes the implementation of the BJR in Indonesia through a comparative lens with Malaysia. Using a normative and comparative legal approach, the research reveals that Indonesia’s current framework lacks clarity, comprehensive codification, and consistent judicial interpretation particularly in the private sector. The research findings demonstrate that, first, the implementation of the Business Judgment Rule (BJR) in Indonesia remains constrained by procedural ambiguity, which undermines consistent and predictable enforcement. Second, the allocation of the burden of proof lacks clarity, thereby weakening both the protection afforded to directors and the reliability of judicial determinations. Third, institutional support for the practical application of the BJR is insufficient, limiting its capacity to promote effective corporate governance. In response, the study recommends comprehensive reform of the Indonesian Company Law, the incorporation of safe-harbor provisions, the enhancement of judicial competence through specialized training, and the reinforcement of corporate governance mechanisms to improve legal certainty and strengthen directors’ accountability. Advancing the BJR framework is essential to encourage innovation, reduce legal risks, and enhance the competitiveness and resilience of Indonesia’s corporate sector.

The focus of this study is that the prosecutor's office as investigator and public prosecutor in prosecuting the PT ASABRI case is required to make a choice in prosecuting the PT ASABRI case, namely choosing between the mechanism of corruption or capital market crimes. The prosecutor's office is faced with this choice because the PT ASABRI case which caused such fantastic state financial losses was carried out by carrying out a series of actions involving price manipulation on the capital market exchange. The research method used is the doctrinal research method with a prescriptive typology.

Meanwhile, the data analysis technique used is data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the selection of the use of the corruption crime mechanism by the prosecutor's office in handling the PT ASABRI case was appropriate, because it was in accordance with the principle of benefit and the principle of systematiche specialiteit in procedural law.
