If the parties have chosen the settlement of disputes through arbitration either in writing in the contract or outside the contract, which expressly authorizes the arbitrator to decide on the final level, then this binds them as law civil principles in accordance with stipulated in article 133 KUH civil.

The reference date and place of the decision is important, because it accounted for fourteen days from the time a verdict was issued, the decision shall be registered in the office of the local Court Clerk, the place where the award has been made (Article 634 paragraph (1) RV). The award can only be executed, if it has obtained orders from the Chief District Court where the decision was filed, which form inclusion Irah-Irah "FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE UNDER THE ONE ALMIGHTY GOD" at the top of the original award.

Although according to the stipulation, the award can be requested appeal, the provisions of article 642 RV. Clearly states that there is no appeal or review may be filed against an arbitral award, even though the parties have so memperjanjian in their agreement. Can be added here that the possibility to request an appeal, as noted above, can be ruled out by the parties with the will expressly include in the arbitration clause or agreement that they made it (Article 641 paragraph (1) RV)
