Authors

Abstract
A settlement deed (akta perdamaian) is a
legally binding instrument with executory power equivalent to a court decision
that has permanent legal force. In civil litigation practice, such deeds are
often the outcome of successful mediation as regulated in Supreme Court
Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2016. This article aims to analyze the legal
strength and formal requirements of a settlement deed, along with its
implementation mechanism, including execution in case of default. Through a
normative juridical approach, this study finds that a formally and materially
valid settlement deed can serve as an effective means for resolving civil
disputes, provided it is made by competent parties, resolves all aspects of the
dispute, is written, and is ratified by a judge.
