Abstract

Digital transformation in Indonesia’s judicial administration is reflected in the implementation of the electronic justice system, particularly through the regulation of e-summons. However, in practice, the e-summons mechanism intersects with the principles of legality and propriety of relaas (summons) as regulated under civil procedural law. This article examines the legal validity of electronic summons as regulated by Supreme Court Regulation Number 7 of 2022 within the framework of civil procedural law that remains guided by the HIR and RBg. It also analyzes legal issues arising from the delivery of summons through external parties, which raises concerns regarding authority, accountability, and procedural legitimacy. This study employs a normative legal research method, using statutory analysis, a conceptual approach to procedural law principles, and a comparative approach to electronic summons practices in several other countries. The findings reveal normative inconsistencies between conventional procedural law and recent digital regulations, as well as unresolved legal issues related to the involvement of third parties in delivering summons. These challenges highlight the need for a reformulation of civil procedural law that accommodates technological developments without undermining legal certainty and procedural justice.
