Settlement Through Mediation Between the Normative and Practice in Religious Judiciary Agencies

Abstract

Mediation in religious courts is believed to be an effective mechanism for reducing the case buildup. Due to the completion of the case at the mediation stage, the parties do not need to continue the litigation process. The agreement reached in the mediation process will be ratified by the judge and therefore has the same legal consequences as the judge's decision. Normatively mediation based on PerMA Number 1 of 2016 provides a new direction as the Supreme Court's policy to put more pressure on the number of cases that enter the court so that mediation at the court level will reduce the accumulation of cases. Even the practices of mediation at the religious court level mediators still use traditional methods like advising the parties. As the court case is examined, it is possible for the parties to the dispute to see that litigation no longer provides a better solution.Keywords: Mediation, mediator, normative, practice, religious court
