Client Alert – E-Mediation

On 30 May 2022, the Supreme Court issued Supreme Court Regulation No. 3 of 2022 on Electronic Court-Annexed Mediation (SCR 3/2022), allowing disputing parties to hold the mandatory 30-day pre-trial mediation online as an alternative to having in-person sessions.

SCR 3/2022 forges on the Supreme Court’s efforts to support trends in online dispute resolution in the Indonesian courts after previously establishing the e-Court case administration system in 2018 and aims to provide a simpler and more time and cost-efficient mediation process. It also marks another milestone in the regulation of court-annexed mediations in Indonesia since the Supreme Court laid out procedural reforms in Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016 on the Procedure for Court-Annexed Mediation (SCR 1/2016).

This article will discuss the procedures introduced by SCR 3/2022 and the practical implications to be considered when choosing to hold an electronic court-annexed mediation (or e-mediation).
