Abstract

Class actions are an increasingly relevant legal mechanism in the modern justice system, particularly in the context of the protection of consumer, environmental and other public rights. However, there is still some lack of effectiveness in the use of class action lawsuits. This research aims to find out the arrangement of filing a class action lawsuit according to PERMA Number 1 of 2002 concerning class action procedures, to find out the requirements that must be met by group representatives and groups represented in filing a class action lawsuit according to PERMA Number 1 of 2002 concerning class action procedures, and to find out the application of class action lawsuits based on PERMA Number 1 of 2002 concerning class action lawsuit procedures in the Medan District Court. This research uses normative juridical legal research methods supported by field research. Therefore, the data used includes primary, secondary, and tertiary data. Data were collected using field research and library research techniques. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using qualitative analysis methods. The results showed that the arrangement of filing a class action lawsuit is regulated based on PERMA No. 1 of 2002 concerning class action procedures. The requirements for filing a class action lawsuit are subjective, objective and filing procedures in order to file a class action lawsuit more effectively and efficiently in the Medan District Court. The application of class action lawsuits based on PERMA No. 1 of 2002 concerning class action lawsuit procedures in the District Court Class 1 A Medan is not effective enough, so the courts and judges in Indonesia must be able to provide a legal breakthrough or legal remedies to the public in general so that the application of class action lawsuits becomes more effective.
