Limits on The Implementation of Contrario Actus Principle in The Procurement of Civil Servants

Procurement of Civil Servants (PNS) which is not in accordance with the legislations and the general principles of good governance have the potential to become State Administration disputes. One of the examples is a civil servant procurement dispute in Dompu District in 2014 where the Judges decided to reject the plaintiff’s claim by considering the Contrario Actus Principle. This research was a normative research by using a statute and case approach. The legal materials used in this research were primary and secondary legal materials. Moreover, the data analysis method used was descriptive qualitative. The results showed that in the Civil Servant Procurement Dispute in Dompu District in 2014, the Judges of Mataram Administrative Court judged that the Dompu District Head, in terms of authority and procedure, did not violate the laws and the general principles of good governance. Moreover, in terms of substance, the Judges considered that the Dompu District Head’s decision was in accordance with the Contrario Actus Principle. By looking at the decidende ratio and Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, the limits on the implementation of the Contrario Actus principle in the procurement of Civil Servants are; 1) The withdrawn KTUN is a bound KTUN, 2) The withdrawn KTUN has a defective authority, 3) The withdrawn KTUN has a defective procedure, and/or 4) The withdrawn KTUN has a defective substance which is caused by fraud, coercion, bribe, or error.
