Abstract

In the era of Industry 4.0, the surge in foreign investment and the proliferation of global trade agreements have intensified the need for more reliable dispute resolution mechanisms. While the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) system has long been the standard, it faces widespread criticism for its lack of transparency, fairness, and absence of an appellate mechanism. In response, the Investment Court System (ICS) has emerged as a novel alternative, introducing significant reforms such as the appointment of more qualified arbitrators, greater neutrality, enhanced transparency, and, crucially, a structured appeals process that offers stronger legal certainty. Although no disputes have yet been resolved through ICS, raising questions about its efficiency, the system represents a promising advancement in creating a more equitable and trustworthy framework. The appellate mechanism of ICS, in particular, addresses a critical shortcoming of ISDS, where arbitration awards are often challenged in national courts, leading to legal uncertainty. By balancing investor protection with state sovereignty to regulate in the public interest, ICS has the potential to enhance legal clarity, foster public confidence, and create a more stable and inclusive global investment environment.

Abstract

Indonesia’s insolvency framework is currently suboptimal in accomodating rapid creditor enforcement with preserving viable firms, particularly publicly listed companies where market signaling and minority interests are at stake. This article proposes the adoption of a semi-public restructuring regime that combines private negotiation (pre-packs) with structured judicial oversight similar to scheme procedures, including limited moratorium and cram-down powers. Using a normative juridical method supported by case analysis (including Garuda’s dual-track restructuring) and interviews with supervisory judges, the paper: (1) identifies legal and practical shortcomings of PKPU/Bankruptcy under Law No. 37/2004; (2) compares UK Part 26A, US Chapter 11, and regional moratorium models; and (3) formulates statutory reforms to operationalize semi-public restructuring in Indonesia. The proposal rests on three core pillars: a mandatory insolvency test, a time-bound moratorium to facilitate rescue, and judicially supervised cram-down with strengthened disclosure obligations to safeguard minority creditors.
