I. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDONESIAN ARBITRATION LEGISLATION

A. Before and Not Long after the Independence of Indonesia Arbitration is not a new concept in Indonesia. It has been a legitimate means to settle commercial disputes since the Dutch colonial period based on Articles 615-651 of the Reglement op de Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering1 (more commonly known as “Rv”), which was the Dutch Code of Civil Procedure that was applicable to the European population of the colony.

Five years after Indonesia attained its independence,2 as early as 1950, provisions concerning arbitration appeared in Indonesian national legislation, being Law No. 1 of 1950 concerning the Supreme Court.3 According to this Law, in line with Article 631 of the Rv, parties do have a right to appeal against an arbitral award to the Supreme Court.
