Abstract

The lack of uniformity among judges in interpreting the criteria for buyers' good faith in land sale and purchase cases results in less favorable outcomes for buyers. This study aims to compare the regulations and implementations of the principle of good faith in land transactions in the United States, the Netherlands and Indonesia. Utilizing a statutory and conceptual approach, supplemented by comparative analysis, this research examines the relevant laws and concepts, including contractual rules and regulations governing sales and purchases. The findings indicate that the legal system significantly influences how countries regulate the principle of good faith—either concretely or abstractly. This influence is closely tied to the concepts of written legal sources, jurisprudence, and the practical application of the principle in statutory regulations. Generally, Indonesia, like other countries, faces challenges in implementing the principle of good faith, particularly for buyers, due to the lack of a definitive benchmark to assess whether agreements are executed in good faith and fairness. To address this issue, the regulation of good faith and its criteria should be clearly articulated in written laws. Ensuring that the principle of good faith is applied throughout the entire land buying and selling process—from pre-contractual stages to contract execution—is crucial for providing adequate protection for buyers acting in good faith.

Abstract

The legal duration of the Right to Build (Hak Guna Bangunan) in the new capital city has raised concerns due to inconsistencies across regulatory frameworks. Current policies suggest that HGB may be granted for up to 160 years in two cycles, creating potential conflict with previous legal norms that provide for shorter durations. This study aims to assess the legal validity of the extended tenure of HGB within the context of national land law and to propose a justice-oriented regulatory model. The research adopts a normative legal method, utilizing primary and secondary legal materials, with a statutory and conceptual approach. The findings of this study are twofold: First, the regulation concerning HGB in the new capital lacks legal validity based on Lon L. Fuller’s theory of legal systems, as it contains ambiguous provisions, contradicts existing laws, and undermines legal certainty due to the possibility of frequent changes. Second, a just regulatory model should be grounded in the broader public interest and aligned with the moral and philosophical foundations of the national ideology, particularly the principle of social justice, to ensure equitable land access and promote sustainable capital development.
