Reform of the Debt Dispute Resolution System in Indonesian Courts: Pembaharuan Sistem Penyelesaian Perkara Hutang Piutang di Pengadilan Indonesia
General Background: The Indonesian civil justice system continues to face structural inefficiencies, including case backlogs, slow proceedings, and high litigation costs. Specific Background: These challenges are especially evident in resolving debt-related default disputes, where creditors—particularly concurrent creditors—often encounter uncertainty and weak enforcement. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing litigation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, limited effectiveness, inconsistent legal certainty, and gaps in legal culture hinder optimal dispute settlement. Aims: This study analyzes the mechanisms for resolving debt-default disputes, the protection available for concurrent creditors, the application of legal certainty principles, and strategies to strengthen legal culture. Results: Findings show that dispute settlement operates through litigation and ADR; concurrent creditors receive preventive and repressive protections; legal certainty is grounded in Articles 1131–1132 of the Civil Code; and improving legal culture requires education, consistent enforcement, and institutional reform. Novelty: This research integrates doctrinal analysis with empirical judicial data to highlight systemic shortcomings in current debt-dispute resolution, particularly regarding creditor vulnerability and uneven implementation of reform policies. Implications: Strengthening legal frameworks, institutional capacity, and public legal awareness is essential to achieving a faster, simpler, and more affordable civil justice system in Indonesia.
Highlights:
Highlights the dual mechanisms of resolving debt-default disputes through litigation and ADR.
Emphasizes the vulnerability of concurrent creditors and the need for stronger legal certainty.
Underscores the importance of legal-culture development to support effective justice reform.

An Analysis of Unilateral Termination of Employment by Employers under Indonesia’s Manpower Law: Analisis Pemutusan Hubungan Kerja Secara Sepihak oleh Pengusaha Menurut Undang-Undang Ketenagakerjaan di Indonesia
General Background: Unilateral termination of employment (PHK sepihak) remains a persistent issue in Indonesia’s industrial relations, affecting workers’ economic and social stability. Specific Background: Despite the comprehensive regulation under Law No. 13/2003 on Manpower, gaps persist between legal norms and actual practices, particularly regarding procedural compliance and workers’ access to remedies. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies thoroughly examine how statutory provisions, post-MK decisions, and dispute-resolution mechanisms interact to shape the legality and consequences of unilateral termination. Aim: This study analyzes the legal framework governing unilateral termination, its legal consequences, and the protective mechanisms available to workers. Results: Findings show that unilateral termination is only lawful under conditions strictly regulated in the Manpower Law, including proven gross misconduct, corporate restructuring, or operational necessities, and must be accompanied by mandatory procedures such as negotiation and adjudication. Employers are obligated to provide severance, service appreciation pay, and compensation for rights, with variations depending on the grounds for termination. Novelty: This research integrates statutory analysis, judicial developments, and procedural safeguards to reveal persistent inconsistencies between legal standards and practical enforcement. Implications: Strengthening supervision, legal literacy, and procedural compliance is crucial to preventing arbitrary terminations and ensuring substantive worker protection.
Highlights:
The law strictly limits when employers may carry out unilateral termination.
Workers are entitled to severance and other compensations based on legal provisions.
Dispute-resolution mechanisms provide formal protection against arbitrary termination.
