An inheritance claim submitted to a religious court can be accepted if the elements and conditions of the inheritance claim have been fulfilled according to the formal law applicable in the religious court. In court practice, not all inheritance claims are accepted by the panel of judges even though the plaintiff in preparing the claim letter is guided by the formal law that applies in religious courts. The judges of the Blitar Religious Court are of the opinion that all heirs must be included in the lawsuit, if there are fewer heirs in the lawsuit, then the lawsuit cannot be accepted. To see clearly that the Blitar Religious Court in implementing the principles of fast, simple and low-cost justice may not necessarily run perfectly. So the author examines further the implementation of the principles of justice that is fast, simple and low cost.
This type of research is juridical-empirical law (socio-legal research). The juridical legal approach is carried out by identifying and conceptualizing law as norms, rules, regulations, laws that apply at a certain time and place as a product of a particular sovereign state power which is then often referred to as doctrinal legal research.
The research results show that in resolving inheritance disputes, it is important for the parties involved to comply with the principles that apply in civil procedural law. One of them is the principle of fast, simple and low- cost justice which aims to provide legal protection and certainty for justice seekers. However, in this case, there was a problem of lack of parties related to errors in preparing the arguments for the inheritance claim. This causes the dispute resolution process to become more complicated and take longer. Therefore, there is a need for coordination and involvement of all parties actively involved in the judicial process to realize the principles of fast, simple and low-cost justice.
