Abstract

This study aims to analyze the rapid growth of the franchise business in Indonesia, which has prompted the government to regulate and protect the legal relationship between franchisors and franchisees through various regulations, including Government Regulation Number 42 of 2007 and the Ministry of Trade Regulation Number 71 of 2019. A dispute case between PT MYSalon International as the franchisor and Ratnasari Lukitaningrum as the franchisee highlights the challenges in implementing franchise agreements in Indonesia. This research was conducted qualitatively with a case study analysis. The research method used is empirical juridical. The case study analysis and literature review are described in this research. The main challenges in franchise agreements include unclear contract clauses, non-compliance with regulations, lack of trust, and operational difficulties in implementing franchisor standards. The impact of these challenges includes lawsuits, contract termination, and damage to business reputation. Based on civil law principles such as consensualism, freedom of contract, and good faith, this study emphasizes the importance of compliance with regulations and transparency in the implementation of franchise agreements to create justice and business sustainability. The study concludes that harmonizing regulations and simplifying administrative processes are necessary to address the challenges in franchise agreements in Indonesia while promoting healthy and competitive franchise sector growth.

Abstract

The Batak Toba customary law adheres to a patrilineal inheritance system, where male children are the primary heirs of family assets, while female children only receive symbolic portions in the form of gifts or jambar. This study aims to examine the legal protection for female children in inheritance distribution in Janjiraja Village, Samosir Regency, focusing on customary practices and gender equality. The research uses a juridical-sociological method, combining legal analysis with observations of the implementation of customs in the community. The findings show that although there are protective mechanisms such as parjambar and family discussions, their implementation is hindered by the patrilineal culture, lack of understanding of national law, and social pressures from the customary environment. However, there is a shift in attitudes among the younger generation, who are more supportive of gender equality, influenced by education, urbanization, and national legal frameworks. This study concludes that legal protection for female children in Batak Toba inheritance requires an approach that combines customary values with gender equality principles, leading to a more equitable distribution of family inheritance.

Abstract

Womb rental is a method of obtaining offspring by using another woman's womb to contain an embryo derived from the egg and sperm of a married couple. After the child is born, it will be handed back to the married couple who owns the embryo. The implementation of uterine leasing is prohibited in Indonesia because it is contrary to applicabl’e laws and regu’lations and contrary to religious norms. This st’udy aims to determine the legal status of children born through uterine leasing based on positive law in In’donesia. This researc’h uses norm’ative legal resea’rch. Based on the res’ults of the stu’dy, if the st’atus of the surro’gate mother is a g’irl or widow, th’en the child is an unmarried ch’ild, where children born out’side of marria’ge only have a ci’vil relation’ship with their moth’er and th’eir mother's fam’ily. If the s’tatus of the surr’ogate mother is bou’nd by a legal marriag’e (has a husb’and), then the ch’ild born is the legiti’mate child of the su’rrogate mother and her hu’sband.

Abstract

The application of the principle of ultimum remedy under the legal age of children who commit crimes is an effort to protect the health of children and ensure a more humane approach in the criminal system. This shows that after alternative forms of education, such as diversification and restorative justice, have been discussed, child care or education should be the last option. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mechanisms underlying the application of as ultimum remedy as well as the legal procedures applied to children who deviate and act like criminals. The method used in this study is normative juridical regarding laws, cases, and conceptual. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of as ultimum remedy still faces many challenges, such as a lack of understanding of the legal system, lack of rehabilitation facilities, and lack of attention to diversion of implementation. In addition, older children have a higher sensitivity to criminal acts, therefore a more comprehensive approach is needed in handling them. The principle of ultimum remedy can be integrated into child protection practices by complying with a set of rules that encourage cooperative conflict resolution. This study recommends training of law enforcement officers, improving rehabilitation facilities, and integrating legal education to create a more humane child protection system that focuses on child safety.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal considerations of judges in PKPU decisions against debtors who are executing homologation decisions and examine the legal provisions related to PKPU applications against the same debtor based on Law No. 37 of 2004. This study also highlights the legal phenomena related to two different decisions (homologation and bankruptcy) that occur to the same debtor and their legal impact on the company.  The method used in this research is a normative juridical approach with a case study of PT Sabang Subur. Data was collected through literature study and analysis of related court decisions. The results showed that the differences in legal interpretation in the application of PKPU to debtors who have carried out homologation can lead to legal uncertainty. Therefore, this research is expected to provide insight for legal practitioners regarding the aspects that need to be considered in making legal decisions related to PKPU applications to create legal certainty and justice in Indonesia.

Abstract

Penanganan terhadap tindak pidana kekerasan seksual tidak hanya harus berfokus pada pemberian hukuman yang setimpal kepada pelaku, tetapi juga harus segera memberikan perlindungan kepada korban. Kekerasan seksual seharusnya ditangani secara ideal agar dapat diatasi dengan cepat dan menyeluruh dalam sistem hukum. Penanganan terhadap korban harus dimulai sejak proses peradilan, dengan adanya restitusi yang mencakup kerugian materiil dan immateriil. Pidana denda lebih tepat diterapkan pada tindak pidana yang berhubungan dengan kerugian harta benda, di mana ada hubungan kerugian antara korban dan pelaku. Namun, pada prinsipnya, kerugian yang dialami korban tidak dapat dipandang hanya dari sisi materiil. Kerugian tersebut memiliki makna yang lebih luas, sehingga pemidanaan dengan denda tidak bisa terbatas pada kejahatan yang merugikan harta benda. Denda adalah jenis pidana yang berfungsi sebagai ganti rugi, di mana seluruh pembayaran denda yang diterima akan dimasukkan ke kas negara. Walaupun denda merupakan pidana utama, dalam praktik peradilan Indonesia, hukuman berupa pencabutan kebebasan masih lebih diutamakan. Berdasarkan analisis, ketentuan mengenai pidana denda dalam tindak pidana kekerasan seksual diatur dalam Pasal 281 dan Pasal 296 KUHP. Sementara itu, dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2022 tentang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual, pidana denda dibedakan berdasarkan jenis kekerasan seksual, yaitu pelecehan seksual fisik dan nonfisik.

Abstract

Monopolistic practices and unfair competition are significant issues in the global economy. Indonesia and Malaysia have legal frameworks that aim to maintain fair competition and prohibit monopolistic practices. This article compares Indonesian and Malaysian laws prohibiting monopolistic practices and unfair business competition by examining the legal basis, supervision, enforcement mechanisms, and protection of consumers and businesses. Although both countries have similar objectives in protecting market competition, there are differences in the approach to law enforcement, merger and acquisition regulations, and philosophy in competition regulation. The results show that Indonesia focuses more on protecting consumers and small businesses, while Malaysia tends to pay more attention to overall market efficiency.

Abstract

This writing aims to determine the legal protection of copyright to songs involving Artificial Intelligence in the music industry based on Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and who is entitled to ownership of the copyright. The use of Artificial Intelligence technology in the creation of a song and works in other fields is increasing in number which causes disputes over copyright ownership issues to be a concern for musicians, especially in the music industry. Improvement of Indonesian copyright regulation is a special challenge for the Indonesian government to compile a special policy about copyright that uses Artificial Intelligence technology. The method used is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches, as well as analysis of relevant international regulations. The results of the writing show that Artificial Intelligence is considered a tool, not a legal subject, so copyright in works involving Artificial Intelligence is still given to humans who act as initiators or instructors in the creative process. Regulations in Indonesia have not been fully adaptive to the development of Artificial Intelligence, so a review is needed to accommodate this technological innovation. It is recommended that there be cooperation with international organizations such as WIPO to develop harmonious and comprehensive policies for protecting copyright in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of law for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia who choose not to scale up their businesses. This phenomenon is an important issue because this decision can have various consequences for MSMEs, including limited opportunities for expansion and competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market. Business scale-up itself is a strategy for developing small businesses so that they can grow larger in work capacity and competitiveness. The reluctance of MSMEs to increase their business scale is influenced by several factors, such as understanding the law, applicable regulations, and challenges in development related to the economic potential and contribution of MSMEs to national GDP. The research method uses a normative legal approach through literature studies and case approaches. The results of the study show that although MSMEs play an important role in supporting the Indonesian economy, many business actors feel comfortable with the current conditions and are reluctant to take risks to develop. Factors of apathy, limited human resources, and lack of technology adoption are the main obstacles to increasing business scale. The government has made various efforts, including through Law Number 20 of 2008 and Law Number 6 of 2023, to support the development of MSMEs. However, the implementation of these policies still faces challenges in the effectiveness of implementation at the regional and national levels. This study recommends strengthening synergies between the government, business actors, and the private sector in an effort to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has had a major impact in various fields, including in the business sector. One of the main influences is the shift towards a digital world that affects various sectors, including Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), in managing their markets through digitization. This digitalization process has made it easier for MSMEs to grow, develop, and market their products to international consumers.  MSMEs play a very important role in the Indonesian economy, contributing greatly to gross domestic product (GDP), job creation, and income generation. Various digital platforms, such as social media, e-commerce, and websites, allow MSMEs to reach consumers around the world. However, this digital transformation also brings challenges for MSMEs, such as legal issues, data privacy, and potential misuse of information. Indonesian regulations, such as Law No. 20/2008 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM Law) and Law No. 8/1999 on Consumer Protection (Consumer Protection Law), emphasize the importance of the legal system for MSMEs in the face of digital developments. These laws provide guidelines for MSMEs to operate effectively in the ever-changing digital ecosystem.
