JAKARTA - The Supreme Court (MA) managed to decide as many as 30,908 cases throughout 2024 out of a total of 31,138 caseloads, so that the productivity ratio to decide cases reached 99.26 percent.

This was conveyed by the Chairman of the Supreme Court Sunarto in the 2024 MA Annual Report, Wednesday, February 19. He said the number of cases that had not been decided by the end of 2024 was only 0.74 percent.

"Throughout 2024, the Supreme Court has succeeded in deciding cases of 30,908. This number has increased by 12.95 percent compared to 2023 which decided as many as 27,365 cases," said Sunarto in his speech.

Of the total caseload handled, 30,991 cases were cases that entered in 2024, plus 147 remaining cases from 2023. This number increased by 13.18 percent compared to the previous year which received 27,512 cases.

The increased caseload was handled by 45 Supreme Court justices. Meanwhile, corruption cases (tipikor) and industrial relations disputes (PHI) were also handled by nine ad hoc judges, consisting of four ad hoc corruption judges and five ad hoc PHI judges.

"Thus, the average workload of each Supreme Court judge in one year reaches 2,076 case files," explained the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The productivity ratio for case termination above 99 percent is not the first time that the Supreme Court has achieved. According to Sunarto, this figure has been maintained for five consecutive years.
