Abstract

The unclear arrangement of administrative appeals in business licensing disputes in Indonesia raises problems regarding legal certainty and the effectiveness of legal protection for the public and business actors. Although Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration has regulated administrative efforts, its regulation is not yet fully aligned with the Law on State Administrative Justice, Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation, Government Regulation Number 5 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing, as well as various sectoral regulations. This study aims to analyze the form of unclear administrative appeal arrangements in business licensing disputes and formulate a regulatory concept that provides legal certainty and convenience for the community. The research uses normative legal methods with a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively through grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretations. The results of the study show that the disharmony of regulations regarding obligations, procedures, authority, and legal consequences of administrative appeals causes legal uncertainty and has the potential to hinder the resolution of business licensing disputes. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonize laws and regulations that uniformly regulate the administrative appeal mechanism by prioritizing the principles of legal certainty, legal protection, good public services, and general principles of good governance in order to realize an effective administrative dispute resolution system and support the ease of doing business in Indonesia.
