This study analyzes 64 decisions of the South Jakarta Religious Courts, issued in 2011-2013, to see how ultra petitum partium principle is used to settle a child support claim in a divorce case. Child protection lawsuit is a legal solution given by the law to force fathers to carry out their obligations to fulfil their children's livelihood. In the Religious Courts, the case can be done simultaneously with a divorce case or done separately. In this study, the author argues that in deciding children’s livelihood claims, judges in the Religious Courts, besides having to comply with the applicable procedural law, should also follow basic principles applied in the General Court.  This is based on article 54 of Law No. 7 of 1989 (amended by Law No. 3 of 2006 and Law No. 50 of 2009). One of the principles is ultra petitum partium, in which the judges are prohibited from deciding a matter that is not stated in the lawsuit or decide more than what is demanded. From 64 decisions, 60 of them applied the ultra petitum partium principle. In this case, none of them decided to order the fathers to pay for children supports, even though the posita mentions that children were born during their marriage, and the children are with the mothers.

The judiciary under the supreme court consists of general courts, religious courts, military courts, and state administrative courts. In each procedural law court, the provisions concerning evidence are regulated. Evidence is the stage where the parties try to convince the panel of judges about the truth of the arguments put forward in a dispute based on valid evidence. Evidence has an important role because the results of evidence can be the basis for consideration by the panel of judges in making a decision. Evidence in the procedural law of the state administrative court is not only carried out in the Indonesian state administrative court but also in the South Korean Administrative Court. The historical development and organizational structure of the South Korean Administrative Court are the basis for analyzing the Evidence in the South Korean Administrative Court. Lessons from the South Korean Administrative Court can see the similarities and differences in the concept of evidence and type of evidence used in the South Korean Administrative Court with the Indonesian State Administrative Court. The approach used in this study is the statutory approach, comparative approach, and conceptual approach.

Civil procedure enforces the rules and provisions of civil law.  The law of civil procedure involves the issuing, service and filing of documents to initiate court proceedings in the superior courts and lower courts. Indeed, notice of legal proceedings is given to every person to ensure compliance with the audi alteram partem maxim (“hear the other side”). There are various rules and legislation that regulate these court proceedings such as inter alia, the Superior Courts Act, 2013, Uniform Rules of Court, Constitution Seventeenth Amendment Act, 2012 and the Magistrates’ Courts Act of 1944. The rules of court are binding on a court by virtue of their nature.  The purpose of these rules is to facilitate inexpensive and efficient legislation. However, civil procedure does not only depend on statutory provisions and the rules of court.  Common law also plays a role. Superior Courts are said to exercise inherent jurisdiction in that its jurisdiction is derived from common law.  It is noteworthy that whilst our rules of court and statutes are largely based on the English law, Roman-Dutch law also has an impact on our procedural law. The question thus arises, how can our law of civil procedure transform to accommodate elements of Africanisation as we are part and parcel of the African continent/diaspora? In this regard, the article examines the origins of Western-based civil procedure, our formal court systems, the impact of the Constitution on traditional civil procedure, the use of dispute resolution mechanisms in Western legal systems and African culture, an overview of the Traditional Courts Bill of 2012 and the advent of the Traditional Courts Bill of 2017. The article also examines how the contentious Traditional Courts Bills of 2012 and 2017 will transform or complement the law of civil procedure and apply in practice once it is passed into law.

AbstractThe Prima facie view regarding the admissibility of admissions, as evidence, in criminal matters is that, to admit admissions as evidence, the court requires a single consideration as to whether the admission was made freely and voluntarily. Without too much ado, the simple view to this understanding presupposes that admission of an admission as evidence against its maker is of a lesser danger compared to the admission of a confession. The admissibility of confessions against their makers does not come as easily as that of admissions. There are many prescribed requirements to satisfy before confessions are admitted as evidence. This comparison has led to a questionable conclusion that requirements for the admissibility of admissions are of a less complexity equated to the requirements for the admission of confessions. This paper answers the question whether an inference that the requirements for the admissibility of admissions are of a less complexity compared to the requirements for the admission of confessions is rational? It equates this approach to the now done away with commonwealth states rigid differentiation perspective. In the 1800s the commonwealth states, especially those vowing on the Wigmorian perspective on the law of evidence, developed from a rigid interpretation of confessions and admissions and adopted a relaxed and wide definitions of the word, “confession.” To this extent there was a relaxed divide between confessions and admissions hence their common classification and application of similar cautionary rules. The article recounts admissibility requirement in section 219A of the South African Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 (CPA) (Hereinafter CPA). It then analyses Section 219A of the CPA requirement in the light of the rationale encompassing precautions for the admission of confessions in terms of 217(1) of the CPA. It exposes the similarities of potential prejudices where confessions and admissions are admitted as evidence. It reckons that by the adherence to this rigid differentiation perspectives of confessions and admissions which used to be the practice in the commonwealth prior the 1800s developments, South African law of evidence remains prejudicial to accused persons. To do away with these prejudices this article, recommends that section 219A be amended to include additional admissibility requirements in section 217(1). In effect it recommends the merging of sections 217(1) and 219A of the CPA.

AbstractIn 1998 Ghana harmonised its child care legislation to conform to the Convention on the Rights of the Child by enacting the Children's Act 1998, Act 560. Some stakeholders expressed misgivings at its capacity to ensure child protection, but little literature exists on the views of professionals working within the law. This paper presents an investigation of the views of professionals who are mandated to work within the law to ensure the rights of the child to legal protection in Ghana. The findings suggest that there is a gap between legal intent and practice. It is concluded from these findings that for better child protection, the provision of legal rights for children is only an initial step; the administrative framework including better professional training, adequate resources for social care agencies and the establishment of new structures also needs to be reconsidered.
