The Department of Commercial Law at the Faculty of Law, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in collaboration with the Center for Intellectual Property Competition and Disputes Settlement Mechanism Studies (CICODS), held a national seminar titled “Arbitration in Business Dispute Resolution and Its Development.” The seminar was held on Wednesday, November 27, 2019, at the Faculty of Law UGM.
Seminar nasional dibuka dengan sambutan dari Dekan Fakultas Hukum UGM, Prof. Dr. Sigit Riyanto, S.H., LL.M. Dalam sambutannya, Sigit Riyanto menyatakan seminar ini adalah kegiatan yang cukup signifikan untuk dunia pendidikan tinggi hukum maupun praktik hukum yang ada di Indonesia, terutama dunia hukum bisnis. Dekan berharap seminar ini dapat memberikan implikasi dan update tentang penyelesaian sengketa melalui arbitrase dan perkembangannya, sebab penyelesaian sengketa dengan arbitrase sekarang banyak dimanfaatkan bukan hanya oleh perusahaan, tetapi juga oleh negara.
Prof. Dr. Nindyo Pramono, S.H., M.S dalam keynote speech-nya menekankan tentang permasalahan-permasalahan yang timbul dalam penyelesaian sengketa melalui arbitrase, salah satunya adalah dalam hal eksekusi. Beliau menganggap ada carut-marut dalam tataran praktik eksekusi putusan arbitrase asing dan menilai bahwa akademisi perlu memberikan kontribusi untuk memperbaikinya. Selain itu, beliau juga mengemukakan ide pembentukan BANI di wilayah Jogjakarta Solo Semarang (Joglosemar) untuk dapat berkontribusi menangani sengketa bisnis di wilayah tersebut secara lebih efisien.
