The annulment of an arbitration award in Indonesia is an exceptional legal mechanism and is strictly regulated in Article 70 of Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (AAPS Law). Although an arbitration award is final and binding, annulment can be carried out if forged documents, concealed decisive documents, or a decision born of deception are found. The submission mechanism is carried out in writing to the District Court within 30 days of the registration of the award, with supporting evidence. Arbitrators and arbitration institutions enjoy legal immunity, but liability can arise if there is a serious violation of the integrity of the process. This study discusses the legal basis for annulment, the forms of accountability of arbitrators and arbitration institutions, the submission mechanism, and the legal consequences of annulment of an award, to provide a comprehensive understanding of legal protection and legal certainty in arbitration.
