Abstract

This research explores the legal protection and scope of notaries’ liability concerning the loss of deed minutes resulting from force majeure. A normative juridical method is employed through statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings demonstrate that: (1) Administrative liability may arise from the loss of deed minutes caused by force majeure, whereas civil liability arises only where fault and the applicable legal requirements are established. (2) Preventive and repressive legal measures provide protection to notaries when deed minutes are lost due to force majeure. However, preventive protection remains limited by the ambiguity of Article 16 paragraph (1) letter b of the UUJN does not provide clear norms regarding such circumstances. However, repressive protection is manifested through the decision of a judge in a District Court to reject a tort or tort lawsuit from a client, under Articles 1244 and 1245 of the Civil Code. Recommendations to: 1) The UUJN should expressly establish technical provisions concerning mitigation measures and the scope of notaries’ liability for the loss or damage of deed minutes caused by force majeure. 2) notaries should apply the principle of high level of caution independently in keeping the minutes of the deed and in the event of a disaster or force majeure such as fire or flood, notaries must respond quickly through the procedural obligation to report to the authorities and MPD.
