AKARTA: Jakarta Deputy Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat introduced nine members of the city administration legal team to the Jakarta High Court as a prelude to the members attending a training session to upgrade their skills.
The measure has been taken as the city had suffered from regular losses in its legal battles with other parties, especially those related to land disputes.
At City Hall on Friday, Djarot said that he had just returned from the Jakarta High Court, where he had been coordinating the training with the judges. 'I want them to be trained, to upgrade their capacity,' he said, adding that they had yet to determine a time for the training.
The city administration, for example, lost the BMW park land dispute in North Jakarta, a loss which forced the city to hand over the disputed land to PT Buana Permata Hijau.
The administration also lost a case at the Indonesian National Arbitration Agency (BANI) against importer PT Ivani Dewi with regard to Transjakarta buses. The city is now obliged to pay Rp 7.6 billion (US$547,200).
