Abstract

Judicial review (PK) is an extraordinary legal effort that allows criminal cases to be reopened even though they already have permanent legal force (res judicata). This mechanism aims to correct judicial errors that can occur due to novum, judge's error, or conflicting decisions. However, in the Indonesian legal system, PK can only be submitted by the convict or his heirs, which has given rise to debate regarding limited access to justice. This study highlights the relevance and implications of these limitations and compares them with legal systems in other countries, such as Germany, which implements the Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens mechanism in the Strafprozessordnung (StPO). Through comparative analysis, it was found that the Indonesian legal system still has normative ambiguity in determining the limits of judge error and the category of novum that can be used as the basis for a PK. This study proposes a reformulation of the PK concept that is more inclusive, by expanding the subjects who have the right to apply for a PK not only limited to the convict or his heirs, but also other parties who have legal interests. In addition, stricter regulations are needed regarding the limits of judge error and the validity of the novum, as implemented in Article 359 of the German StPO.

Abstract

Pretrial motion in Indonesia, inspired by the principle of habeas corpus, has the authority to test the legality of law enforcement actions, including searches and seizures. However, this mechanism is *post-factum* and limited to formal aspects, such as the completeness of the warrant, without assessing the material requirements that determine the legality of the action. This limitation has the potential to cause injustice, especially in cases of urgent searches and seizures, where officers often act without prior court permission. This study aims to reconstruct the authority of pretrial motion by integrating the Plain View Doctrine (PVD), a doctrine from the common law system that allows the seizure of evidence without a warrant if it meets three requirements: (1) officers are legally present at the location, (2) the evidence is clearly visible (immediately apparent), and (3) there is a probable cause that connects the object to the crime. The research method used is normative juridical with a conceptual and statutory approach. The results of the study indicate that the application of PVD can strengthen the pretrial control function by expanding the scope of testing from merely formal to substantial aspects. In addition, this study proposes the optimization of digital systems such as *E-Berpadu* to accelerate the licensing process in urgent circumstances. Thus, the reconstruction of pretrial authority based on PVD is expected to ensure a balance between the effectiveness of law enforcement and the protection of human rights.

Abstract

The plea of lack of jurisdiction in civil cases is a procedural objection by the defendant challenging the court's authority to adjudicate. Theoretically, it does not involve substantive proof, as it precedes the case's merits. However, judicial practice often includes preliminary evidence, prompting scrutiny of its validity. This study examines the legal foundations of jurisdiction exceptions in Indonesian civil procedure and assesses the admissibility of preliminary evidence. Employing a normative juridical approach with legislative, case, and conceptual analysis, it reviews regulations like the Herzien Inlandsch Reglement (HIR), Rechtreglement voor de Buitengewesten (RBg), and Law No. 48 of 2009 on Judicial Power. Case studies of Interlocutory Decision No. 19/Pdt.Sus-Parpol/2018/PN Cbn and Decision No. 56/Pdt.G/2018/PN Cbn reveal judges accepting preliminary evidence in jurisdiction pleas. Findings indicate that, despite absent explicit rules, this practice aligns with principles of fast, simple, and low-cost justice under Article 2(4) of Law No. 48/2009. To prevent procedural delays, future regulations should restrict evidence to documents, per Positief Wettelijke Bewijstheorie. This research clarifies the legal framework for preliminary evidence in jurisdiction exceptions, enhancing civil justice efficiency in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study analyzes the regulation of plea bargaining (PB) under Indonesia’s Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), examines the inconsistency in the first-offender requirement under Article 234, and proposes a regulatory model informed by comparison with Italy’s patteggiamento. The study addresses the discrepancy between Articles 78 and 205, which require defendants to be first-time offenders, and Article 234, which does not explicitly impose this requirement. This inconsistency creates legal uncertainty regarding repeat offenders’ eligibility for PB and may result in inconsistent application. The study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s PB framework lacks consistency, whereas Italy’s patteggiamento restricts eligibility according to specific offender categories and legal conditions without universally requiring first-offender status. The Italian model serves as a comparative reference rather than a framework for direct adoption, highlighting the importance of clear and coherent eligibility criteria. In Indonesia, adding a first-offender requirement to Article 234 would align it with Articles 78 and 205 and strengthen the internal consistency of PB regulation. The ambiguity surrounding Article 234 also raises concerns about corruption cases, which Article 205 excludes from PB but Article 234 does not expressly address. Accordingly, Article 234 should be revised to specify the first-offender requirement and clarify which offenses are excluded from PB. These amendments should reflect Indonesia’s legal context rather than replicate the Italian model, promoting legal certainty, reducing interpretive differences, and ensuring consistent application of PB within the Indonesian criminal justice system.
