Abstract

The purpose of this thesis research is to examine the violation of the principle of Nemo Judex in Causa Sua. The principle of Nemo Judex in Causa Sua by Constitutional Court Judges in Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023. The research method used in this study is normative juridical research. The approach employed is a legislative approach and a literature study. The data collection tools used are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data collection procedure is a document study. The data analysis used is qualitative analysis. The results of the study indicate that there was a violation of the Principle of Nemo Judex In Causa Sua in the determination of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 concerning the age limit for Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates set by the Constitutional Court. As a Constitutional Court judge, Anwar Usman should have realized that the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 would have an impact on himself and his family. Therefore, as a Constitutional Court judge, he should have resigned in accordance with the Principle of Nemo Judex In Causa Sua, which is one of the fundamental principles in case handling. The application of this principle is very important to ensure that the decision can be reached fairly and without any intervention. The Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 is a final and binding decision. Although the decision is final and immediately effective, the Constitutional Court can still be declared "invalid and has no legal force", due to the fact that the decision was not read out in public.
