Establishment of land court in Indonesia: an effort to realise justice based on Pancasila

Abstract

The intricate nature of land issues currently exceeds the capacity of the general court to settle, thus necessitating the completion of numerous pending land cases. Furthermore, the land issues encompass private matters and governmental and administrative concerns. It is not uncommon for many court decisions to be associated with a single piece of land, including ownership rulings from both the District Court and the Religious Courts, as well as administrative decisions related to issuing a land title certificate by the State Administrative Court. This frequently entails a protracted and ambiguous process of land ownership. This circumstance progressively hinders the parties from attaining a straightforward, expeditious, cost-effective judicial system and deviates from a settlement model grounded in the principles of Pancasila. This essay will analyze the necessity of building a land court that aims to construct an efficient, expeditious, and cost-effective legal system for resolving land disputes while adhering to the principles of Pancasila.
