Abstract

This article analyzes the judicial reasoning in West Jakarta District Court Decision No. 596/Pid.B/2023/PN Jkt.Brt concerning motor vehicle theft with violence, with a focus on the defendant’s attempt to distance himself from the violent elements of the crime. Such a defense strategy is conceptually parallel to exoneration clauses in contract law, which seek to exclude or limit liability. Through the lens of Radbruch’s triadic values of law justice, legal certainty, and utility, the study highlights the contradictions arising from the judicial rejection of exoneration claims in collective violent crimes. While exoneration clauses serve to ensure fairness and proportionality in civil contexts, their transposition into criminal law risks undermining deterrence and public order. Empirical observations reveal inconsistent judicial interpretations in Indonesia, compounded by institutional limitations and lack of specialized consumer or criminal law adjudication. Comparative insights from the European Union and Australia underscore the importance of regulatory clarity and strict enforcement to safeguard fairness in contractual and criminal contexts alike. The article concludes by proposing a normative framework for reform that emphasizes clearer sentencing guidelines, statutory restrictions on exoneration in collective crimes, and alignment with international best practices. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on balancing fairness, legal certainty, and public protection in Indonesian criminal law.

Abstract

The use of land title certificates (Sertifikat Hak Milik/SHM) as collateral in Indonesian banking practices faces a significant legal and institutional gap due to the proliferation of counterfeit documents. This study investigates the normative inadequacies that fail to protect bona fide creditors from the consequences of forged SHM. Using a normative juridical method, this doctrinal legal research analyzes statutory instruments, case law, and legal doctrines, particularly Government Regulation No. 24/1997, Law No. 10/1998, and the Basic Agrarian Law. Findings reveal persistent structural weaknesses in certificate verification systems, institutional fragmentation, and a lack of preventive legal frameworks. The absence of electronic authentication mandates, strict liability for negligent PPATs or notaries, and civil protection for defrauded creditors underscores systemic risk. The study proposes a Unified Certificate Verification System (SVST), mandatory digital verification, blockchain-based registration, land title insurance, and legal reform to enforce due diligence and institutional accountability. It concludes that Indonesia’s current framework fails to ensure legal certainty and justice for financial institutions, and urgent structural reform is needed to enhance transparency, minimize transactional risks, and restore public trust in land-based financial transactions.
