This article will evaluate Indonesian statutory law that can be used as the basis for the Indonesian court to assert jurisdiction over defendants residing abroad. The analysis of this article will be based on legal doctrinal research with statutory and comparative approaches. The instrument used as the comparison rule is the ALI/ UNIDROIT Principles of Transnational Civil Procedure, a 'soft law' instrument in which some basic principles of civil procedure applicable in civil law and common law systems converge. The analysis will show that some rules in Indonesian civil procedure can be the basis for the Indonesian court to exercise jurisdiction over non-resident defendants, with considerable attention given to Article 100 Rv. Parallel with its exorbitant jurisdiction, it will be shown that the Indonesian court may also assert jurisdiction in consumer disputes against a trade residing abroad as long as its products are distributed in Indonesia. The Indonesian court also has jurisdiction over labour disputes involving an employer domiciled abroad so far as the employees perform their employment obligation within Indonesian territory.
