Law No. 30/2014 on Government Administration creates new legal culture of state administration that aims to provide protection to governmental agencies or officials, citizens, and civil legal entities. This was conveyed by a Lecturer of Faculty of Law of University of Indonesia, Dian Puji Simatupang, as an Expert presented by the Petitioner of the Case No. 77/PUU-XV/2017.

The Case No. 77/PUU-XV/2017 was filed by Richard Christoforus Massa, President Director of PT Nusantara Ragawisata since 2003. The Petitioner requested a review against Article 53 paragraph (5) of Law No. 30/2014 which reads, "The court shall decide upon the petition as referred to in paragraph (4) no later than 21 (twenty one) working days after the petition is filed."

The Petitioner has faced a lawsuit related to the assets of PT Nusantara Ragawisata, especially the SHGB (right-to-build certificate) of land asset No. No. 74/Ungasan and SHGB No. 72/Ungasan won by PT Nusantara Ragawisata with court decisions deciding SHGB of land No. 74/Ungasan and SHGB No. 72/Ungasan belonging to PT Nusantara Ragawisata 

If the Denpasar PTUN that examined the positive fictitious appeal would give the Petitioner a chance to be heard as Intervening Defendant II, Richard Christoforus as President Director of PT Nusantara Ragawisata will provide an explanation regarding the legal standing of the two lands.

Because the Denpasar PTUN denied him an opportunity to get involved in the positive fictitious a quo petition on the ground that Article 53 of Law No. 30/2014 does not regulate the involvement of Relevant Party in the examination of the a quo positive fictitious appeal, the Petitioner’s constitutional rights have been harmed.
