The Indonesian civil procedure law allows parties to choose which court will handle their disputes, but Indonesian courts often don't accept these choices. This is because Indonesian law prioritizes the principle that the defendant's home court should handle the case. Since Indonesian law doesn't cover foreign court jurisdiction, Indonesian courts usually handle disputes even if parties picked foreign courts. To fix this, Indonesia should pass a new law that includes rules for foreign court jurisdiction and join the 2005 HCCH Choice of Court Agreements Convention.
