LMKN Proposes Simple Judicial For Settlement Of Royalty Violations

JAKARTA - The procedures for paying royalties and sanctions for violations have been regulated through laws to Government Regulations and Ministerial Regulations. But in reality, compliance with royalty is still very low in Indonesia.

In this case, the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) through a press release received by VOI recently stated, "The main factor (low compliance with paying royalties) is that the application of sanctions takes a lot of money and a very long time."

This, said LMKN, occurred because the settlement of royalty violations followed the usual procedural law which passed the process from the first level to the cassation, even the Review (PK).

The limitation of funds at LMKN makes the implementation of the process very difficult.

As an alternative, LMKN pum proposed a simple trial. This is felt in line with the principle of implementing judicial power: simple, fast, and low-cost courts.

"This principle is clearly stated in Article 2 paragraph (4) of Law Number 48 of 2009 concerning Judicial Power," said LMKN.

The simplicial means that the examination and settlement of the case is carried out in an efficient and effective way. Fast principles, universal principles, are related to the time of completion that does not drag on. This fast principle is known for its adage justice delayed justice denial.
