Can I appeal a District Court civil judgment in Indonesia after missing the 14-day deadline?

Untuk mengajukan banding sudah tidak bisa karena batas waktu telah lewat 14 hari, upaya hukum yang bisa dilakukan adalah Peninjauan Kembali kepada Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia, adapun bukti yang relevan dengan pertanyaan adalah berupa surat baru yang belum dijadikan bukti pada Pengadilan Negeri dan bukti surat tersebut bersifat menentukan

Apakah persidangan di tingkat Pengadilan Negeri dilaksanakan secara elektronik (E-Court)? Jika persidangan dilaksanakan secara elektronik (E-Court), maka Pemberitahuan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri sekaligus dengan Salinan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri, misalnya Salinan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri melalui E-Court pada tanggal 27 Januari 2026, dengan sendirinya Pemberitahuan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri juga pada tanggal 27 Januari 2026, jadi tenggang waktu pengajuan Banding 14 hari bukan dihitung dari tanggal diputusnya perkara di tingkat Pengadilan Negeri. Oleh karena itu, kami harap anda dapat mengirimkan screen shot Pemberitahuan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri yang tercantum di E-Court dan Salinan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri tersebut melalui platform Lawzana. Salam dari kami, Dr. Syapri Chan, S.H., M.Hum.

Before answering your question, we need the following information: 1. Are you the plaintiff or the defendant? 2. You stated that you “lost.” Does this mean that your lawsuit was rejected or that it was inadmissible? If you are the plaintiff and your lawsuit was declared inadmissible, you can file another lawsuit with the court. If by “lost” you mean that your lawsuit was dismissed by the judge, or the opposing party's lawsuit was granted, then the appeal period is 14 days. If this period has passed, you can file for a review (PK) with the Supreme Court, provided there is new evidence or there was a judicial error, or the judge misapplied the law or exceeded their authority. Thank you. TNC & FRIENDS

I assume you are the Defendant, lost a case in the District, and the 14-day grace period has elapsed. You can file for Civil Review (Peninjauan Kembali) within 180 days from the date you receive the decision.

Hi,

In civil proceedings, an appeal must be filed within 14 (fourteen) days from the date the judgment is rendered or officially notified. If this statutory period has lapsed, the right to appeal is, in principle, forfeited.

However, extraordinary legal remedies may still be available, such as a Petition for Judicial Review (Peninjauan Kembali / PK) where there is newly discovered evidence (novum), judicial oversight, or a manifest error in the judgment. In cases where the decision was rendered by default (verstek), an objection (verzet) may also be considered, provided the legal requirements are satisfied.

To assess the viability of any further legal action, a review of the official copy of the judgment, proof of service, and evidence of any substantial procedural irregularities is required.

We recommend conducting a comprehensive review of the case file before determining the appropriate legal strategy.

Kind regards,
