Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of e-Court in breach of contract trials at the Salatiga Class 1B District Court and to identify the obstacles and efforts made in its implementation. The introduction of e-Court through Supreme Court Regulation Number 3 of 2018 represents a technological innovation to realize the principles of simple, fast, and low-cost justice. This study uses an empirical approach with descriptive analytical specifications. Primary data was obtained through interviews with judges, court clerks, and litigants, while secondary data came from a literature review of laws and related documents. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of e-Court in breach of contract cases at the Salatiga Class 1B District Court has been running according to regulations, including lectronic case registration, electronic court fee payment (e-Payment), summoning parties through e-Summons, and e-Litigation trials. However, obstacles remain, such as limited technological literacy among the parties, internet network constraints, and limited supporting facilities. Efforts taken by the court to address these obstacles include outreach, assistance with e-Court usage, and improvements to information technology infrastructure. In conclusion, the implementation of e-Court at the Salatiga District Court Class 1B has made a positive contribution to accelerating the trial process for breach of contract cases, although improvements are still needed in technical aspects and public outreach.
