A hearing for a bankruptcy lawsuit against monorail developing consortium PT Jakarta Monorail on Thursday ended with both the plaintiff and the accused being told to prepare evidence for the next court session.
"The court will check on the evidence used to support the arguments of both sides," presiding judge M. Eli Mariani said at the Commercial Court, in the Central Jakarta District Court.
She adjourned the hearing until Monday.
The plaintiff, Adi Prasetyo & Partners, which is the former legal advisor for PT Jakarta Monorail, requested the Commercial Court declare the company bankrupt.
The firm, represented by Octolin H. Hutagalung, said PT Jakarta Monorail owed approximately Rp 2.247 billion (US$245,439) and $872,750, separately.
Outside the court, PT Jakarta Monorail's lawyer Mauliate P. Situmeang said the company refused to be declared bankrupt.
"When the law firm submitted a proposal (to be the legal advisor for the company), it didn't include an official license (to practice)," he said.
He added the consortium had only recently discovered that Adi Prasetyo & Partners did not have a practice permit, after being represented by the law firm for almost two years.
