<![CDATA[Contract law practice in Indonesia tends to resolve disputes through economic compensation, overlooking the moral and social dimensions inherent in contractual relationships. This gap exists between the current formalistic civil law approach and the need for substantive justice, raising questions about the adequacy of the existing legal framework to fully remedy damages. This research examines the urgency of applying a more holistic contract remedy theory. This study employs qualitative method with a normative legal method with conceptual and comparative approaches. The analysis focuses on primary legal materials, such as the Indonesian Civil Code and court decisions, and secondary materials, including journals and books, with a focus on Felipe Jiménez’s pluralistic theory to evaluate its relevance in the Indonesian legal context. The findings indicate a significant discrepancy between theory and practice, with the judiciary prioritizing financial compensation. Jiménez's theory, which balances economic, moral, and social values, offers a more comprehensive framework, with the principle of good faith in the Civil Code as its juridical basis. It is concluded that applying this theory can enrich contract law practice by integrating restorative justice. It is recommended that legal academics and practitioners delve deeper into the literature on contract remedy theory, and that legal education be reformed alongside a review of relevant Civil Code provisions.]]>
