Abstract

In Indonesia, the term contempt of court originated from the general definition of Law No. 14of 1985 on Supreme Court item 4 paragraph 4. According to this general definition, it is necessary to quickly validate the law in Indonesia governing contempt of court. It was anticipated that the perspectives of legal experts and practitioners would contribute to the implementation of contempt of court regulations. Controversy over contempt of court became a topic of contention following the publication of aof Criminal Code that included articles on contempt of court. This study sought to examine the factorsthat could lead to contempt of court and the urgency of drafting contempt of court regulations in Indonesia. This investigation employed a legal-empirical methodology. In addition, the researchers in this study attempted to describe the perspectives of judges, prosecutors, and attorneys in Malang,Indonesia, which obtained through interviews and observations. The qualitative research approach was adopted by the researchers. This research found that the prevalence of contempt of court cases until recently was due to a lack of public awareness in complying with the law and a lack of ethical behaviour regarding the law, either on the part of society or law enforcement.
