Abstract

This study critically examines the trend of "fast-track legislation" in Indonesia, particularly focusing on the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, the IKN Law, and the 2024 Constitutional Court Law. While fast-track legislation is often used as a tool for crisis management, Indonesia’s approach raises significant concerns due to its lack of a formal procedural framework. Unlike mature democracies such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and New Zealand, which have regulated systems for expedited law-making, Indonesia’s fast-track process is largely unregulated and accelerates policy changes without proper public scrutiny. The study uncovers a troubling pattern where speed becomes a substitute for thorough deliberation, leading to a democratic deficit and allowing executive power to bypass essential checks and balances. By comparing Indonesia’s practices with those of established democracies, the research highlights that fast-track mechanisms can be effective when guided by clear legal standards, judicial review, and transparency. However, Indonesia’s current system risks undermining democratic accountability, as urgency is often used as a tool to avoid public participation and scrutiny. The article concludes by calling for the urgent codification of a transparent, participatory framework for expedited legislation within Indonesia’s existing legal structures. This framework should define criteria for urgency, ensure procedural safeguards, and prioritize public involvement, ultimately ensuring that the pursuit of speed does not come at the cost of democratic integrity.

Abstract

Actors in the real estate market have developed a marketing strategy in the form of pre-project selling. This strategy is conducted to perform a market test for any property a developer intends to market. However, in practice, the system often poses problems, such as misrepresenting the property and inflicting customers' financial losses. From the perspective of Islamic law, this type of transaction is characterized as gharar (uncertainty, deception, and risk), having no exact object, and having forbidden. This article uses a Sharia-based perspective to analyze the characteristics of pre-project selling. This research aims to determine the legality of pre-project selling under Sharia law and prescribe solutions for society. The method used in this article is legal research, using legislation-based, conceptual, and case-based approaches, along with a comparison of national legislation with the written text of the al-Qur’an and hadith. The paper concludes that while pre-project selling should not be legally banned, there need steps taken to reduce its risks. This could be applied, for example, by creating minimum prerequisites for allowing pre-project selling, such as the existence of a plot for construction or the requirement of permits to be obtained before the pre-project sale. This research contributes to the development of legal science in general and Islamic jurisprudence, especially regarding Islamic law agreements' validity.
