jurisprudence, customs, and doctrines. (Mertokusumo, 2009).
Indonesia is a country that
upholds the law. The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia confirms that the
Republic of Indonesia is a state based on law. As a state of law, Indonesia always upholds
human rights. It always guarantees that every citizen has the same position in the law.
(Angstadt & Schink, 2023).
The existence of norms in the legislation is certainly inseparable from the basic values
of the law which form the basis for the formation of a legal regulation called legal principles.
Where procedural law, especially civil procedural law, is guided by several legal principles,
one of which is the principle of the judicial trilogy, known as the Simple, Fast, and Light Cost
Principle. Normatively, the principles of fast, simple, and low cost are regulated in Article 2
paragraph (4) of Law No. 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power. (Sari, 2019).
The court in carrying out the judicial process certainly uses the rule of law as a reference.
In addition to the rule of law, for the judicial process to be carried out properly, it must pay
attention to legal principles. Legal principles are the basic rules that underlie legal rules and
the basis for implementing the law. General legal principles are basic norms that are
elaborated from positive law and which legal science does not ascribe to more general rules.
So general legal principles are the deposition of positive law in a society. (Simbolon & SH,
2022).
The development of information technology certainly affects the process of examining
cases in the Supreme Court because it is in line with the industrial revolution which requires
implementing technology-based performance, so that if previously case administration was
carried out manually which took a long time and high costs, information technology has
accelerated, simplified and reduced the cost of case administration within the Supreme Court.
(Kwakye-Nuako et al., 2023).
The utilization of information technology for judicial tasks is currently growing rapidly
towards Electronic Courts (e-Courts), where information technology is used in case
administration and implementation of procedural law. The online system is a breakthrough in
the administration of justice, the administration of cases in court electronically is a series of
processes of receiving lawsuits/applications, answers, replications, duplicates, and
conclusions where the management, delivery, and storage of civil, religious, and military
administrative/state administrative case documents are carried out with an electronic system
that has been applied in each court environment (Siti Rokhayah, 2022).
Along with the development of technology, efforts to provide services for justice
seekers can now utilize internet-based applications, namely e-court, this can certainly help the
implementation of the legal process to be faster and more efficient so that it is no longer
waiting for the examined party to be present at the court session if the person concerned is out
of town.
The existence of the principles of simplicity, speed, and low cost certainly requires that
the examination of cases in the judicial process be carried out in a fast time, without
convoluted processes, and at a low cost or can be borne by the parties. However, it is common
knowledge that litigating in court has weaknesses, namely that the process takes a long time,
there are winning and losing parties, and often costs a lot of money (Artadi & Putra, 2010).
The examination of court cases cannot be separated from the procedures that have been
