Study Notes
Procedural Issues in Civil Law Jurisdictions
- Civil law jurisdictions differ in procedural issues compared to common law systems.
- Indonesia's court jurisdiction is based on absolute and relative competence.
- Absolute competence (jurisdiction) is based on the type of case (e.g., criminal, family, commercial).
- Relative competence (jurisdiction) depends on factors like location of parties or where a contract was signed.
Court Jurisdiction in Indonesia
- Courts in Indonesia have power to hear certain cases based on the type of case (absolute competence), or based on the location of the parties (relative competence).
- A court's authority to hear a specific type of case is determined by the subject matter and the nature of the legal matter or the type of relief sought.
- Criminal Court has authority over criminal cases; family court over family-related matters; and the Commercial Court over commercial matters.
- The relevant book on procedural issues in Indonesia, known as HHIR, has provisions in Article 118, subparagraph 1, on court jurisdiction.
- If the defendant's residence is unknown, the civil case can be initiated in the Central Jakarta District Court.
- A party can challenge that the correct court does not have the appropriate jurisdiction. Examples include land ownership disputes which are administrative state disputes.
Procedural Issues in Other Jurisdictions
- Disclosure or discovery processes aren't typical in civil law systems.
- Common law jurisdictions, like Singapore, allow parties to produce documents.
- Parties are obliged to produce documents relevant to their cases, including documents that might be adverse.
- Thailand has specialized courts for specific cases (e.g., labour disputes, intellectual property, commercial, tax issues).
- Parties in Thailand are expected to gather their evidence before trial.
Privilege in Different Legal Systems
- The legal concepts of privilege differ between common law and civil law systems.
- In civil law systems, the obligation to keep information confidential from clients is not time-limited, and it continues even after the relationship between an advocate and client ends.
- Advocates in civil law jurisdictions are obliged to maintain confidentiality of client information, but an in-house lawyer in a company isn't considered the same as an advocate, in that their employer (the company) is not their client.
- In civil law systems, privilege is limited according to the role of the in-house counsel in relation to the organization, and based on the need to prove the existence of an employment relationship between the in-house counsel and the employer, to ensure the facts are correct.
- In some countries, e.g., China, there is no privilege for in-house counsel (the advice they give isn't privileged).
- France has courts that consider some in-house counsel communications privileged.
- There are different exceptions to privilege depending on the jurisdiction, such as in case of financial crimes; terrorism, etc.
Important Concepts
- Ex aequo et bono: A legal principle allowing judges or arbitrators to consider fairness and equity as opposed to strictly enforcing law in legal matters.
- Territorial Jurisdiction: In principle, a country's courts have authority only within their borders.
