<![CDATA[Abuse of power by judicial authorities in handling corruption cases often leads to verdicts that do not reflect justice, particularly when assessing the amount of state losses. This study aims to analyze the judicial inconsistency in the corruption case of PT Timah in Bengkulu, focusing on the abuse of power in issuing verdicts related to the amount of state losses. The research method used is normative juridical, with approaches based on legislation, case studies, and conceptual approaches. Data sources include legal regulation documents, court decisions, and relevant legal literature analysis. The research results show that there is a discrepancy in the assessment of state losses between different levels of courts. This discrepancy is suspected to be influenced by the abuse of power by judges, whether due to external pressure, intervention by interested parties, or weaknesses in understanding the calculation of state losses. Additionally, it was found that in several rulings, there was insufficient explanation regarding the basis for assessing state losses, which affects the substantive justice that should be applied. This study provides recommendations for reforming the judicial system by emphasizing transparency in the process of assessing state losses, strengthening the monitoring mechanism of judges, and establishing clear guidelines in calculating state losses resulting from corruption. It is expected that these measures will reduce the potential for abuse of power and ensure a fairer application of the law in corruption cases.]]>
