In filing a bankruptcy petition, the petitioner must fulfill the requirements for the petition to be granted by the panel of judges. These requirements are stipulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 8 paragraph (2) of Law No. 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations. According to these requirements, the bankruptcy petitioner must provide evidence that there are other creditors, either by presenting these other creditors as witnesses or by the debtor's acknowledgment in the form of promissory notes or other documents.

This research will be conducted using a normative research method, which involves studying legislation with an approach to bankruptcy cases in Indonesia
