<![CDATA[The small claims procedure (small claims court) is a civil dispute resolution mechanism introduced through Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia (PERMA) Number 2 of 2015 concerning Procedures for the Settlement of Small Claims, which was subsequently amended by PERMA Number 4 of 2019. This mechanism is intended to realize the principle of simple, expeditious, and low-cost justice in resolving civil disputes involving relatively low monetary claims. Despite the establishment of a clear regulatory framework, the implementation of small claims procedures before district courts continues to encounter significant challenges, particularly regarding examination procedures, evidentiary processes, and the enforcement of judgments. These challenges may affect the effectiveness and efficiency of dispute resolution and the realization of accessible justice for the parties involved. This article employs normative juridical and empirical approaches to examine the implementation of small claims procedures and identify the principal problems arising in practice. The analysis focuses on procedural implementation, evidentiary mechanisms, and judgment enforcement. Based on these findings, the article formulates recommendations for improving policies and civil procedural law practices in Indonesia to strengthen the effectiveness, efficiency, and accessibility of small claims procedures.]]>
