Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the current regulation of the absolute jurisdiction of the Commercial Court and to redesign its authority in handling corporate crimes. The study was motivated by the increasing complexity of corporate crimes that has not been accompanied by the readiness of an adequate judicial institutional design, particularly regarding the absolute jurisdiction of the Commercial Court. Employing a normative legal research method with statutory and conceptual approaches, the research examined the legal framework governing commercial matters, including the prevailing regulations that define the scope and limits of the Commercial Court's authority. The results indicated that the current regulation of the Commercial Court's absolute jurisdiction remains sectoral, fragmented, and lacks a strong constitutional foundation, resulting in overlapping authority, legal uncertainty, and institutional weakness in adjudicating complex corporate crimes. The study concluded that it is necessary to establish a special law on the Commercial Court to reformulate the definition of commercial matters and expand its authority as an integrated commercial court that also adjudicates corporate crimes. These findings implied that judicial institutional reform, anchored in a comprehensive statutory framework, is essential to strengthen the Commercial Court's capacity to address contemporary corporate crismes and to ensure legal certainty, coherence, and effective enforcement within Indonesia's commercial justice system. The study contributes to the development of legal scholarship on judicial jurisdiction and corporate criminal liability, as well as to policy discourse on institutional redesign of specialized courts in Indonesia.
