Introduction to the Judicial Structure

A state administrative dispute is an administrative dispute. This means that this dispute will only be an administrative matter that impacts all interested parties.

Theoretically, administrative disputes involve policies issued by the government in an effort to carry out government administration.

For example, the government issues a policy to dismiss someone as a state civil apparatus in the government structure. The dismissal of the state civil apparatus is confirmed through a decree of dismissal of the state civil apparatus. However, the dismissed apparatus does not accept the dismissal decision and sues the decision. At this point, an administrative dispute arises; there is an administrative issue from the state administrative decision that is questioned by the parties concerned and affected by the decision.

The authority to adjudicate state administrative disputes is the state administrative court, namely the PTUN for disputes adjudicated at the first level, then the High Administrative Court for disputes adjudicated at the appeal level.

In the judicial process, the dispute begins with the process of filing a lawsuit. Article 1 number 5 of the UU PTUN states that the lawsuit is initially filed by the plaintiff to the PTUN. Later, the PTUN will issue a decision on the lawsuit.
