ABSTRACT
The Indonesian civil judicial system has now been improved by Supreme Court Regulation No. 2 of 2015 regarding the settlement of claims in simple disputes. The government expects to implement the principle of a fast, simple and affordable court process, to provide access to justice and ease business practice, through the establishment of a small claims court mechanism. This article elaborates the implementation in Indonesia using a juridical-normative method. It can be safely concluded that in facing the ASEAN Free Trade Area, besides an amendment, judicial reform is also needed to expedite judicial proceedings. The adoption of a small claims court into Indonesian judicial proceedings in Supreme Court Regulation No. 2 of 2015 is expected to prevent a vacuum arising in law, by providing investors with a mechanism for fast dispute settlement. However, for the best interests of the civil procedural law, it is also important to codify the unification of the national law in this area.
