Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK) Mahfud MD said, in 2012 there was an increase errors House of Representatives and the government in making laws. Indicator of that is the number of requests granted judicial Court.

The case which rejected it involves no strong reason for the applicant's proposed law. In addition, he said, none of the applicants who do not have a strong legal standing.

"Some of these cases there is sometimes denied legal issues, but not at the level of the regulation norms," ​​said Mahfud.

He also explained, as many as 97 cases in 2012 managed to be decided by the Court. However, there are 18 cases that have been decided upon, but it has not been announced because of a national holiday. Thus, the Court report cards rose to 6.2 percent in 2011.

Then, the period 2008-2012, cases peak at 20.44 percent granted. Meanwhile, the percentage of cases dismissed or withdrawn reached 79.56 percent.
