JAKARTA, Public Relations—The Constitutional Court (MK) held another judicial review hearing of Law No. 10 of 1998 on the Amendment to Law No. 7 of 1992 on Banking on Monday afternoon, November 29, 2021. The Court heard the petition revisions for case No. 58/PUU-XIX/2021.

At the hearing chaired by Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih, legal counsel Raju Diagunsyah said the Petitioner’s legal standing and the format of the petition had been revised, by including the Constitutional Court Regulation (PMK) No. 2 of 2021 on the requirements for judicial review.

He also conveyed the revision on the elaboration of constitutional impairment as well as the Petitioner’s arguments. “The Banking Law is no longer relevant to the current times and is no longer sufficient [to overcome current] problems and is no longer able to accommodate the complexities that arise in the banking industry,” he explained.
