Over four years ago we reported that the Panel of Judges of the Surabaya District Court granted the tort lawsuit filed by one Budi Said against PT Aneka Tambang (Persero) Tbk (ANTM). The State-owned company was ordered to compensate for the losses Budi claimed (Rp817.4 billion). Several months later the decision was annulled by the High Court, but then the Supreme Court decided in favor of Budi. In September 2023, the Assembly of Reconsideration (PK 1) decided to decline ANTM petition. Budi, therefore, won the legal battle, although ANTM refused to obey the court’s decision. ANTM filed another Reconsideration (PK 2), and the interesting part of the dispute is to see how the Supreme Court cannot even stick to their own decision. Recently, the petition was granted.
