Expansion of The Absolute Authority of State Administrative Courts in Adjudicating Public Information Disclosure Disputes and Land Acquisition

Abstract

As a state of law, Indonesia cannot be separated from the existence of the state administrative court or Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara (PTUN). The purpose of this research is first to conceptually analyze the expansion of the absolute authority of the PTUN in adjudicating disputes over public information disclosure and land acquisition. Second, to analyze the characteristics of public information disclosure and land acquisition disputes. This research is normative legal science research with its leading characteristic in the use of data using legal materials rather than data or social facts. The results revealed that the expansion of the absolute authority of PTUN had begun before the issuance of Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration. Several laws and regulations before 2014 have provided for the expansion of the absolute authority of the PTUN. On the other hand, there are different characteristics between public information disclosure disputes and land acquisition. These differences include the legal basis, method, subject and object of the dispute, the grace period for filing an objection or lawsuit, the examination procedure in court, the grace period for decisions by PTUN, the grace period for decisions by the Supreme Court, and the content of the PTUN’s decision.
