kasasi

Indonesian		English
Istilah	Pengertian	Term	Description
kasasi	Upaya ‘banding’ yang diperiksa pengadilan tertinggi di banyak negara yang menganut sistem hukum Kontinental versi Perancis. Upaya kasasi hanya memperhatikan aspek hukum suatu perkara; apakah pengadilan yang lebih rendah salah menerapkan hukum, melampaui kewenangannya atau lalai memenuhi syarat yang diwajibkan oleh hukum. Dengan demikian fungsi utama upaya kasasi adalah memastikan penerapan hukum secara merata. Walaupun fakta-fakta seharusnya tidak ditinjau dalam upaya kasasi, seringkali Mahkamah Agung kembali memeriksa fakta tersebut apabila dipandang perlu. Di Indonesia, persidangan kasasi dilakukan oleh Mahkamah Agung. Lihat judex facti dan judex juris. Bandingkan dengan upaya banding.	cassation	These are ‘appeals’ heard by the highest courts of many countries characteristic of the French-influenced civil law tradition. Cassation hearings are only concerned with the legal aspects of the case and determine whether the lower courts have in any way infringed or erroneously applied the law, exceeded their authority or neglected to satisfy obligations and duties set by law. Essentially, therefore, the main function of cassation is to ensure the uniform application of the law. Although, strictly speaking, disputed issues of fact should not be reviewed in cassation hearings, the Indonesian Supreme Court (Mahkamah Agung) will reconsider facts if it feels it necessary. In Indonesia, cassation hearings are conducted by the Mahkamah Agung. See tryer of law and tryer of fact. Compare appeal.
