The Application for Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) is a legal remedy that aims to provide the Debtor with the opportunity to formulate a debt settlement plan for creditors to prevent bankruptcy, but in practice it does not always continue until a court decision due to the withdrawal of the PKPU application. The withdrawal of the PKPU application is based on a peace settlement between the creditor and the debtor that occurs outside the court. Law Number 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations (Law No. 37/2004) does not regulate such a peace settlement. This study aims to analyze the legal status of peace settlements between creditors and debtors outside the court and the legal basis for the withdrawal of the PKPU application before the court decision. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach, specifically Decision Number 87/Pdt.Sus-PKPU/2025/PN. The results of the study show that the legal status of peace between creditors and debtors outside the court is not regulated in Law No. 37/2004, while the revocation of the PKPU application is carried out based on Article 271 of the Reglement op de Rechtsvordering (Rv) which is the principle of Dominus Litis.
