From the results of the research, it can be concluded that a dispute resolution institution or court in dealing with disputes regarding the termination of a financing agreement caused by the debtor’s inability to pay due to the impact of the Covid-19 health pandemic must be able to assess the good faith of the debtor in implementing the financing agreement so that it can present the value of justice in the resolution of related disputes financing agreement.
