Takeaways

• 😀 The PTUN (State Administrative Court) follows a similar procedure to civil court cases but with key differences, such as the active role of the judge and the lack of a stay on the enforcement of decisions.
• 😀 In PTUN, proof is governed by 'free proof' theory, which gives judges significant discretion in determining what to prove, how, and what evidence is prioritized.
• 😀 Facts used in court decisions are categorized into legal facts (dependent on regulations) and ordinary facts (helping establish legal facts).
• 😀 The general knowledge of facts means they do not need to be proven in PTUN, as long as they are recognized publicly.
• 😀 Judges in PTUN must consider at least two valid pieces of evidence when making decisions, in line with legal requirements.
• 😀 PTUN's free proof system is limited by specific legal conditions outlined in the PTUN Law, ensuring some structure in the process.
• 😀 There are five types of evidence in PTUN: written documents, expert testimony, witness testimony, party admissions, and judicial knowledge.
• 😀 Written evidence is divided into 'acts' (official documents like notarial deeds) and 'non-acts' (ordinary documents without signatures).
• 😀 Expert testimony involves an individual's professional opinion on matters within their expertise and can be requested by either party or appointed by the judge.
• 😀 Witnesses in PTUN must provide direct knowledge of events they witnessed or experienced themselves, not hearsay, with certain individuals (e.g., family members) prohibited from being witnesses.
• 😀 Party admissions are statements made by the parties involved, and these can also serve as evidence in the case.
• 😀 Judicial knowledge allows judges to use their own knowledge and experience to evaluate evidence, including their observations during the proceedings.
