Juridical review of construction contract disputes in Indonesia

Abstract

Nowadays, the method of resolving disputes through the judiciary has received very sharp criticism from practitioners and legal theorists. The roles and functions of the judiciary are considered to be heavy, slow, take a long time, cost a lot of money, unresponsive in seeing the public interest, and too formal and technical. The problem to be raised in this research is how to resolve construction work contract disputes in Indonesia as regulated in Law Number 2 of 2017 concerning construction services and how to compare construction work contract dispute resolutions through adjudication and arbitration. The results of this study are Based on the description in the Discussion section. It is concluded that the Construction Services Act only stipulates one settlement mechanism, namely dispute resolution out of court (non-litigation). Even in the Construction Work Contract, there is no room to make efforts to resolve disputes through court institutions. Thus, the philosophy (spirit) carried is the concept of a "win-win solution." The stages of dispute resolution efforts include mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. Implementing mediation, conciliation, and arbitration may refer to Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution.How to cite item: Supriadi, S., Gufron AZ, M., Indrayanti, KW., (2022).
