Abstract

AbstrakSesuai dengan Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 15/PUU-XII/2014, Penjelasan Pasal 70 Undang-Undang Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 Republik Indonesia; sehingga tidak lagi memiliki kekuatan hukum yang mengikat. Substansi dari penjelasan tersebut mengharuskan pemohon yang berusaha membatalkan putusan arbitrase untuk terlebih dahulu membuktikan alasan pengajuan mereka di Pengadilan Negeri. Berdasarkan putusan ini, syarat tersebut tidak lagi ada, sehingga mempermudah proses pembatalan putusan arbitrase. Di sisi lain, keberadaan Pasal 70 undang-undang itu sendiri masih menjadi perdebatan. Dalam perkembangannya, pasal ini memberikan berbagai implikasi hukum yang negatif bagi lembaga penyelesaian sengketa di luar pengadilan, termasuk lembaga arbitrase, serta pihak-pihak yang menyelesaikan sengketa melalui arbitrase. Meskipun demikian, mekanisme ini secara normatif bertujuan untuk mengoreksi kesalahan formal dalam putusan arbitrase. Tulisan ini berusaha menggambarkan rasionalisasi di balik perlunya mempertahankan atau menghilangkan mekanisme tersebut dengan meninjau kembali Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 15/PUU-XII/2014. Sebagai kesimpulan di akhir artikel, disarankan agar Pasal 70 Undang-Undang Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa perlu dihilangkan atau setidaknya dibatasi secara ketat. AbstractPursuant to Constitutional Court Decision Number 15/PUU-XII/2014, the Elucidation of Article 70 of the Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Law was contrary to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia; thus, it no longer had binding legal force. The substance of the elucidation required applicants attempting to annul an arbitral award to first prove the grounds for their application before the District Court. According to this decision, such a requirement did not longer exist, thus it would be easier to annull an arbitral award. On the other hand, the existence of Article 70 of the law itself is still debatable. In its development, this article has provided various legal implications that have negative values for dispute resolution institutions outside the court, including arbitration institutions, as well as parties resolving their disputes through arbitration. Nonetheless, this mechanism is intended normatively to correct formal errors in an arbitral award. This paper attempts to describe the rationalization behind the need to maintain or eliminate such a mechanism by re-examining Constitutional Court Decision Number 15/PUU-XII/2014. As a resolution at the end of the article, it is Article 70 of the Law on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution that should need to be eliminated or at least strictly limited.

Abstract

AbstrakPenyelesaian sengketa bisnis/komersial merupakan salah satu variabel penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi, karena hal ini menjadi salah satu indikator yang digunakan oleh komunitas bisnis untuk berinvestasi atau menjalankan usaha di suatu negara. Hal ini juga tercermin dalam kemudahan berusaha (Ease of Doing Business, EoDB) yang dirilis oleh Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal (BKPM) Indonesia. Salah satu mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa adalah melalui arbitrase yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 1999 tentang Arbitrase dan Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa (UUAAPS). Arbitrase telah menjadi metode yang dipilih oleh komunitas bisnis untuk menyelesaikan sengketa mereka dibandingkan dengan pengadilan negeri, karena sifat putusan arbitrase yang bersifat final dan mengikat. Namun, di samping beberapa keuntungan menggunakan arbitrase, hukum arbitrase Indonesia memungkinkan adanya kemungkinan untuk membatalkan putusan arbitrase. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, permohonan pembatalan putusan arbitrase meningkat sejak diterbitkannya Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 15/PUU-XII/2014 pada tahun 2014 yang menyatakan bahwa penjelasan Pasal 70 undang-undang arbitrase tidak mengikat secara hukum. AbstractBusiness/commercial dispute settlement is one of important variables in the economic development, as it is one of the indicators used by business communities to invest or doing business in a country. This matter is also reflected in the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) Released by Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). One of the dispute settlement mechanisms is through arbitration as regulated in the Indonesia’s Arbitration Law No. 30 of 1999 (UUAAPS). Arbitration has been a preferred method chosen by the business communities to resolve their disputes rather than to the state court due to arbitration’s final and binding characteristic. However, beside some advantages of using arbitration, the Indonesia arbitration law allows the possibility to annul an arbitration award. In recent years, the arbitration award annulment request arises since the publication of the Supreme Court Decree No. 15/PUU-XII/2014 in 2014 which stated the elucidation on article 70 arbitration law is not legally binding.

Abstract

AbstrakArbitrase sebagai sebuah instrumen penyelesaian sengketa sangat diperlukan dalam perkembangan hukum dan pembangunan hukum modern. Minimnya pengetahuan publik akan arbitrase dinilai tidak hanya dirasakan oleh masyarakat umum tetapi termasuk juga dirasakan oleh kalangan dunia pendidikan. Minimnya arbitrase dimasukan dalam kurikulum perguruan tinggi merupakan potret bahwa arbitrase tidak begitu populer di program studi yang memiliki relevansi dengan arbitrase seperti fakultas hukum dan fakultas ekonomi dan bisnis. Literasi dan pengetahuan yang seharusnya di dapatkan di perguruan tinggi terkait arbitrase menjadikan arbitrase tidak populer dipilih sebagai tempat penyelesaian sengketa. Ditambah lagi sifat persidangan arbitrase yang tertutup yang menyebabkan tidak terdapat ruang bagi publik khususnya mahasiswa untuk mengenal persidangan arbitrase secara langsung layaknya persidangan di Pengadilan yang terbuka untuk umum. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi, mengevaluasi dan menganalisis mengenai sinergitas perguruan tinggi dan lembaga arbitrase dalam pembangunan hukum terkait penyelesaian sengketa bisnis di Indonesia. Metode penelitian menggunakan jenis penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual, pendekatan filsafat, pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan futuristik. Hasil penelitian menjawab bahwa perguran tinggi dan lembaga arbitrase memiliki peran penting dalam pembangunan hukum di sektor penyelesaian sengketa bisnis. Sinergitas kampus dan Lembaga arbitrase dalam dalam upaya edukasi tentang penyelesaian sengketa bisnis dinilai sebagai tahap awal dalam menyiapkan para calon pelaku bisnis dan praktisi bisnis yang terlibat dalam sengketa termasuk dalam mengkader para pemangku kepentingan yang berperan dalam memutus sengketa bisnis. Pada akhirnya, sinergitas kampus dan perguruan tinggi dalam memberikan pengajaran/pendidikan terkait arbitrase menjadi support system terhadap penyelesaian sengketa bisnis di masa depan, yang tidak hanya berdampak pada pemahaman tentang arbitrase dan kedudukannya dalam penyelesaian sengketa bisnis, tetapi juga berdampak pada utuhnya pemahaman bagi mahasiswa sebagai penegak hukum dan pelaku bisnis di masa depan bahwa penyelesaian sengketa tidak selalu di pengadilan. AbstractArbitration as a dispute resolution instrument is essential in the development of law and the advancement of modern legal systems. The public's lack of knowledge about arbitration is not only felt by the general population but also within the educational community. The limited inclusion of arbitration in university curricula reflects its low popularity in study programs relevant to arbitration, such as law, economics, and business faculties. The lack of literacy and knowledge that should be obtained at the university level regarding arbitration contributes to its unpopularity as a chosen method of dispute resolution. Additionally, the closed nature of arbitration proceedings prevents the public, particularly students, from experiencing arbitration trials directly, unlike court trials that are open to the public. The aim of this research was to identify, evaluate, and analyze the synergy between universities and arbitration institutions in the development of legal frameworks related to business dispute resolution in Indonesia. The research employed a normative juridical method with a conceptual approach, philosophical approach, legislative approach, and futuristic approach. The findings indicated that universities and arbitration institutions play a crucial role in the development of law in the field of business dispute resolution. The synergy between universities and arbitration institutions in educating about business dispute resolution was seen as an initial step in preparing future business actors and practitioners involved in disputes, including training stakeholders who play a role in resolving business disputes. Ultimately, the collaboration between universities and arbitration institutions in providing education related to arbitration became a support system for business dispute resolution in the future, impacting not only the understanding of arbitration and its position in business dispute resolution but also providing a comprehensive understanding for students as future legal enforcers and business actors that dispute resolution did not always take place in court.

Abstract

The emergence of the Dispute Board in Indonesia through Law Number 2 of 2017 on Construction Services raises several challenges, including the complexity of the dispute resolution process, the unclear legal status of decisions, and the lack of recognition within the existing arbitration legal framework. Using a legal normative approach, this research explores the issue in the dispute resolution mechanism under the Law Number 2 of 2017, analyses the main obstacles, and formulates recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the Dispute Board. This research in particular emphasized the enforceability of the decision of the Construction Dispute Board. The method to this problems was to analyze the provisions under the Law. In addition this article also analyzed the main provision on the settlement of disputes, including the possibility of the legal recognition of the Dispute Construction Board in view of the institutional aspects under the Law No 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. This article found that the complexity of the dispute resolution process through the Construction Dispute Board, along with the high cost and lack of clarity regarding the enforceability of judgments, creates uncertainty for the parties. This marred the deicison of the Construction Dispute Board.

Abstract

AbstrakMediasi merupakah salah satu bentuk Alternatif Penyelesaian Sengketa (APS) yang menawarkan kelebihan dibanding litigasi dan arbitrase dari sisi biaya, fleksibilitas, maupun waktu penyelesiaan. Namun, dalam praktik di Indonesia, media masih sering dipandang sebagai mekanisme formalitas yang dilalui para pihak sebelum memasuki forum ajudikatif. Meskipun telah diatur dalam sistem hukum positif sejak berlakunya Undang-Undang No. 30 Tahun 1999 tentang Arbitrase dan APS, pengaturan mediasi masih sangat terbatas dan belum mampu menjawab kebutuhan praktis di lapangan. Mediasi di pengadilan diatur melalui beberapa Peraturan Mahkamah Agung, termasuk Perma No. 1 tahun 2016 dan Perma No. 3 Tahun 2022, tetapi ruang lingkupnya hanya mencakup perkara perdata di pengadilan. Di luar itu, mekanisme mediasi masih minim basis regulasi. Dalam perkembangan global, mediasi semakin mendapat tempat sebagai instrumen penyelesaian sengketa yang kredibel, ditandai dengan disahkannya Singapore Convention on Mediation tahun 2019. Konvensi ini memberikan jaminan eksekutorial bagi kesepakatan hasil mediasi lintas negara, sehingga berperan penting dalam menciptakan iklim bisnis yang aman dan stabil. Bagi Indonesia, pembaruan hukum mediasi menjadi mendesak, baik melalui pembentukan UU Mediasi yang komprehensif maupun dengan meratifikasi Konvensi Mediasi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan argumentasi pembaruan regulasi mediasi di Indonesia melalui pembentukan UU Mediasi dan ratifikasi konvensi internasional agar mediasi dapat berfungsi optimal sebagai instrumen penyelesaian sengketa di era modern, baik nasional maupun internasional. Abstract Mediation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) that offers advantages over litigation and arbitration in terms of cost, flexibility, and resolution time. However, in Indonesian practice, media is still often viewed as a formality mechanism that parties go through before entering an adjudicatory forum. Although it has been regulated in the positive legal system since the enactment of Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and APS, mediation regulations are still very limited and unable to meet practical needs in the field. Mediation in court is regulated by several Supreme Court Regulations, including Perma No. 1 of 2016 and Perma No. 3 of 2022, but their scope only covers civil cases in court. Beyond that, the mediation mechanism still lacks a regulatory basis. In global developments, mediation is increasingly gaining ground as a credible dispute resolution instrument, marked by the ratification of the Singapore Convention on Mediation in 2019. This convention provides enforceable guarantees for agreements resulting from cross-border mediation, thus playing a vital role in creating a safe and stable business climate. For Indonesia, reforming mediation law is urgent, both through the establishment of a comprehensive Mediation Law and by ratifying the Mediation Convention. This article aims to provide arguments for reforming mediation regulations in Indonesia through the establishment of a Mediation Law and the ratification of international conventions so that mediation can function optimally as a dispute resolution instrument in the modern era, both nationally and internationally.
Kant’s Concept of Moral Autonomy as a Philosophical Justification of Party Autonomy Prasetiyo, Eko Dwi

Abstract

One of the important doctrines in international private law, especially in the field of contract law, is the party autonomy doctrine. Although it has gained enormous acceptance, there is still debate about the existence of the doctrine, as well as disagreements about the exact parameters, scope and boundaries of the doctrine. Kant's categorical imperative: "Act so that the maxim of thy will can always at the same time hold good as a principle of universal legislation," is the principle of individual moral autonomy as a universal law-making agent based on the autonomy of the will. This principle provides a philosophical justification for the existence of party autonomy. Based on Kant's idea, a categorical imperative is obtained that guides every rational being in viewing the doctrine of party autonomy, namely by giving respect to every free choice made by the parties in relation to disputes that occur between them. In this way, a transcendental understanding of party autonomy is obtained, which is respect for all rational beings to recognize and uphold every choice made by the parties in a dispute resolution that occurs.
