Abstract

A notary, as a public official, holds legal responsibility for any document or item entrusted to them in the scope of their professional duties. This paper examines the legal liability of Notary Albert Riwukore regarding the loss of nine land ownership certificates (SHM) that were initially deposited during the credit collateral process between Rachmat (debtor) and BPR Christa Jaya Perdana (creditor). Although the SHMs were retrieved by Rachmat—its legal owner—for photocopying purposes, the retrieval lacked written consent and official documentation from the notary's office. This raised legal concerns under both civil law (tort and breach of contract) and criminal law (alleged embezzlement). The analysis reveals that the notary’s responsibility must be distinguished between administrative negligence and criminal intent. No evidence supports the presence of dolus (malicious intent), although culpa (negligence) may still be applicable. Moreover, Rachmat's voluntary action as the rightful owner to retrieve the certificates eliminates a key element of embezzlement. This study underlines the importance of meticulous documentation systems and precautionary procedures in the notarial profession to avoid potential criminalization of their official duties.

Abstract

The acquisition of land rights through inheritance in customary law communities represents the continued existence of indigenous legal systems that are still recognized within Indonesia's national legal framework. However, such transfers are often undocumented within the national land registration system, resulting in legal uncertainty. In this context, notaries play a strategic role as public officials authorized to draw up authentic deeds that provide legal certainty and protection for such acquisitions. This study aims to analyze the role of notaries in ensuring legal certainty in the inheritance-based acquisition of land rights in customary law communities, as well as to identify challenges and formulate effective strategies within notarial practice. This research employs a normative and empirical juridical approach by examining statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and conducting interviews with notaries and traditional leaders. The findings reveal that notaries not only perform formal-administrative functions but also engage substantively in verifying the validity of inheritance claims based on customary law and formalizing them into legally recognized deeds. The primary challenges include the lack of written evidence, discrepancies between legal systems, and limited coordination between indigenous communities and land administration authorities. Therefore, a synergistic approach is required among notaries, customary leaders, and state institutions to develop a system of proof that accommodates customary legal realities while upholding the principle of legal certainty.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this research is to examine the integration of digital technology, specifically digital certification and signatures, into the notarial process in the current legal framework. The research employs a juridical-normative legal research methodology. This approach involves analyzing existing laws, regulations, and legal principles (the “normative” aspect) to address the legal problem at hand. The findings suggest that when consumers are faced with limited choices, such as accepting unfavorable terms or discontinuing service, informational and normative conformity significantly influence continuance intention. Factors such as perceived security, service quality, satisfaction, and perceived usefulness are found to moderate the relationship between conformity and continuance intention. Additionally, previous experience, trust, and self-efficacy emerge as strong determinants of users’ willingness to reuse or abandon the service after policy disruptions. The study found that while it is technologically possible to create and sign notarial deeds digitally, there are explicitly no laws or regulations that govern this process.

Abstract

Franchise agreements are modern business contracts that carry legal implications based on the principle of freedom of contract in the Civil Code, as well as administrative provisions such as registration with the Ministry of Trade, regulated under Minister of Trade Regulation No. 71 of 2019 on Franchise Implementation. Notaries play a critical role in formalizing these agreements through authentic deeds. However, issues arise when franchise agreements are made without a Franchise Registration Certificate (STPW). While notaries can still create deeds based on the parties' will, they are obligated to provide a legal explanation regarding the administrative status and associated risks. This research employs a normative legal methodology using both legislative and conceptual approaches, with qualitative analysis of legal documents and regulations. The study aims to highlight the significance of franchise agreement registration and the notary’s role in ensuring legal clarity. The findings suggest that notaries should be proactive in informing parties about the legal risks involved when a franchise agreement lacks an STPW, thereby enhancing legal protection for all parties. This research provides recommendations for both notaries and the government to strengthen the understanding of administrative obligations in franchise agreements and ensure better legal safeguards.

Abstract

Akta Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli (PPJB) lunas merupakan perjanjian pendahuluan yang dibuat oleh notaris saat pembeli telah melunasi seluruh harga objek jual beli, namun belum terjadi peralihan hak karena penjual belum memenuhi kewajibannya. Permasalahan muncul ketika PPJB tersebut tidak mencantumkan tenggat waktu pemenuhan kewajiban oleh penjual, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan ketimpangan hak dan kewajiban serta menyulitkan pembeli dalam membuktikan wanprestasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis keabsahan dan kekuatan mengikat PPJB tanpa tenggat waktu, mengidentifikasi risiko hukum yang timbul bagi pembeli, serta merumuskan peran notaris dalam menjamin proporsionalitas dan kepastian hukum dalam isi akta. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif dengan data primer berupa peraturan perundang-undangan dan data sekunder berupa literatur hukum. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa PPJB tanpa tenggat waktu tetap sah secara formil, namun berisiko secara substantif. Oleh karena itu, klausul tenggat waktu penting dimasukkan dalam PPJB sebagai bentuk perlindungan hukum preventif terhadap risiko wanprestasi oleh penjual.

Abstract

The procurement of products and services is an important component of economic activities, both in the public and private sectors. Nevertheless, in practice, legal complications often arise, which can hinder the progress of the project and result in financial losses for all parties. Administrative errors, violations of the law, and differences in contract interpretation that result in disputes are some of them. The purpose of this study is to investigate the legal protections afforded to aggrieved parties in procurement agreements. The expected result is a reduced risk of disputes and increased transparency and effectiveness in the procurement process through an understanding of the legal aspects that govern procurement. Legal protection in disputes over the procurement of goods and services was analyzed using a qualitative method with an analytical descriptive approach in this study. Data was collected from primary legal sources, including statutes, regulations, and court rulings, as well as secondary sources, including academic journals, books, and research reports. The findings of the study show that the procurement of goods and services still faces a range of challenges, including regulatory uncertainty and less transparent practices, which hinder legal protection. Therefore, the mechanism for procurement of goods and services needs to         be improved to increase effectiveness and fairness in resolving disputes.

Abstract

More and more people are taking advantage of the convenience offered by online shopping thanks to advances in information technology. Nevertheless, there are a number of legal issues lurking behind the convenience offered, including unclear rights and responsibilities of the parties, conflict resolution, and consumer protection from unsuitable or harmful products. The purpose of this study is to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the Indonesian legal system, evaluate the effectiveness of existing regulations, and determine the extent to which the parties to online sales and purchase agreements are legally protected. This study uses a qualitative normative juridical methodology, with information gathered from a review of laws, scientific articles, and other relevant legal documents. The results of the study show that the low level of public legal literacy and the absence of an efficient online dispute resolution process are 2 (two) areas where the laws governing consumer protection still have room for improvement. To build a secure and sustainable digital commerce ecosystem, existing legal protections for online transactions need to be optimized and legal education for consumers and business actors needs to be improved.

Abstract

This article examines the issue of buying and selling land under the hand that creates tension between formal legality and substantive justice in agrarian justice practice, with a focus on Decision Number 291/Pdt.G/2021/PN.Smn in Berbah District, Sleman. The practice of buying and selling land without involving the Land Deed Making Officer (PPAT) and without registration at the Land Office is contrary to Article 37 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997, so that legally positive cannot be used as a basis for the transfer of rights. This research uses a juridical-normative approach with a critical analysis of agrarian law norms, civil law rules, and maqāṣid al-sharī'ah—especially ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property) and substantive justice (al-'adālah al-jawwāniyyah). The results of the study show that the panel of judges in the decision applied legal logic that is not only textual-formal, but also responsive to social realities and the good faith of the parties. This reflects an integrative effort in bridging normative law and the values of justice in society through the maqāṣid approach. This article emphasizes the urgency of reforming the understanding of public law and the need to reposition the role of the state in ensuring substantive justice in agrarian disputes involving small people.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the strategies employed by notaries to maintain independence and professionalism amid client pressure. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving active notaries in major cities. The findings reveal that notaries apply various strategies, including assertively rejecting inappropriate client requests, referring to the Code of Ethics and Notary Law, consulting with professional peers, and managing pressure through professional communication. Assertive refusals are delivered politely with legal reasoning, while references to regulations strengthen their position. Peer consultation serves as a collective ethical mechanism, and communicative approaches help clients understand the legal limits of notarial roles. These strategies are adaptive, contextual, and demonstrate a synergy between legal norms, ethical awareness, and interpersonal skills. The study concludes that notaries can uphold professionalism and independence through a combination of legal, ethical, and communicative approaches. These findings are expected to contribute to notarial professional development and the enhancement of ethical standards in notarial practice.
