Summary
ABSTRAK Penelitian ini menelaah suatu perjanjian yang mencantumkan klausula arbitrase, yaitu Perjanjian Distribusi antara PT Roche Indonesia (“Roche”) dan PT Perusahaan Dagang Tempo (‘Tempo”) serta Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan dalam perkara Roche-Tempo berupa Putusan No.454/Pdt.G/1999/PN.Jak.Sel tanggal 29 Mei 2000. Roche menyatakan bahwa pengadilan negeri tidak berwenang untuk memeriksa dan mengadili perkara gugatan yang diajukan Tempo oleh karena didalam Perjanjian Distribusi dicantumkan klausula arbitrase dimana penyelesaian sengketa seharusnya dilakukan melalui lembaga arbitrase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adanya klausula arbitrase dalam Perjanjian Distribusi mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat bagi Tempo dan Roche. Pengingkaran terhadap klausula arbitrase oleh Tempo dengan cara mengajukan penyelesaian sengketa kepada pengadilan negeri jelas tidak menghormati kesepakatan yang telah dibuat. Demikian halnya Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan yang menyatakan bahwa mereka berwenang untuk memeriksa dan mengadili perkara yang terikat klausula arbitrase jelas tidak sesuai dengan UU Arbitrase. Kata Kunci :Klausula Arbitrase; Perjanjian Distribusi; Yurisdiksi Pengadilan; Roche; Tempo
