Abstract

In Indonesian law system, the dispute resolution process in the Administrative Court does not recognize mediation. This paper analyzes the reason why mediation is not recognized in the dispute resolution process in the Administrative Court and the possibility of incorporating mediation into the dispute resolution process in the Administrative Court. The law does not regulate mediation in the resolution of administrative disputes, resulting in no reconciliation in the dispute resolution process at the Administrative Court. This is different from civil dispute resolution, which includes mediation before the stage of reading the lawsuit. If reconciliation is achieved through mediation, the next hearing will be the reading of the reconciliation verdict. The reason mediation is not regulated in the dispute resolution process at the Administrative Court is due to the limited authority of Administrative Court judges to test the validity of administrative decisions. Additionally, mediation could undermine the authority of the government. The weakness of not having mediation is that the principles of speedy trial and procedural justice are not realized. Mediation needs to be included in the stages of the dispute resolution process at the Administrative Court, so that dispute resolution at the Administrative Court fulfills both procedural and substantial justice.
