Abstract

This study examines the aspects of judicial review and its touchstone in the formal evaluation of regulations below the law by the Supreme Court, which has not been explicitly regulated. The judicial review of rules below the law is governed by Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2011, which focuses solely on Material Review. This study employs a legal-normative method utilizing conceptual, statutory, historical, and comparative approaches. Theoretically, a formal review includes aspects of power and the procedure for regulation-forming. However, in the current Indonesian legal system, only the procedural aspect is regulated, while the power aspect remains unclear. Ideally, the regulation of the power-aspect review should be incorporated into the Supreme Court Law. Regarding touch-stone, Article 24A of the 1945 Constitution, Article 9 (2) of Law No. 12 of 2011, and Article 26 of Law No. 48 of 2009 designate laws as the touch-stone, whereas the Supreme Court Law and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2011 use higher-level regulations as the touch-stone. Ideally, only laws should be used as touchstones by the hierarchy of norms. The principles in Articles 5 and 6 of Law No. 12 of 2011 can also serve as the basis for reviewing power and procedural formation, offering greater flexibility and development through case law.
