Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The problem explored in this study is that the Indonesian legal system does not provide any legal protection for ‘Good Samaritan’ acting to aid others’ in grave danger. This legal vacuum might cause a shift in humans' good nature. Purpose/Study Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine how other jurisdictions regulate Good Samaritan immunity in civil disputes, addressing the research gap in Indonesia where no protection exists, and how such frameworks may be adapted. Design/Methodology/Approach: Normative juridical research combining statute, conceptual, comparative, and case approaches across Indonesia, Canada, and China to map immunity/liability rules in emergency civil disputes and extract transferable principles relevant to international law debates on protecting life and enabling bystander aid. Findings: The study finds that implementing a Good Samaritan Doctrine in Indonesia addresses the current legal vacuum by providing immunity to individuals who render aid in emergencies. Comparatively, Canada grants civil immunity for Good Samaritans acting in good faith, while China’s Civil Code provides similar protection with limitations. These models demonstrate that clear immunity provisions can encourage voluntary assistance without exposing helpers to liability. In the Indonesian context, the idea of having legal immunity and liability for ‘Good Samaritans’ could be achieved in the short term through advocation clarifying judicial interpretation of Article 1354 of the Indonesian Civil Code, and in the long term through dedicated legislation establishing Good Samaritan protection.  Paper Type: Research Article

Abstract

This study aimed to reconceptualize good faith in Indonesia's public-private partnership infrastructure contracts from a welfare-state perspective. Public-Private Partnership in Indonesia can accelerate the provision of infrastructure to meet the state's welfare obligations. Still, legally it remains an instrument of public policy, not a transfer of the state's constitutional obligations. Using normative legal methods through legislative and conceptual analysis, as well as limited comparison, this article finds that PPP contracts should be understood as administrative contracts (bestuurscontract) that derive from public authority and are oriented towards service and the public interest. Therefore, good faith should not be viewed merely as a moral norm at the time of signing, but rather as an ongoing obligation and corrective principle (redelijkheid en billijkheid) throughout the project cycle. The normative contribution of this article is a reform model that codifies the obligation of good faith, oriented towards the public interest, in laws and their implementing regulations, including cooperation, disclosure of information, and renegotiation. This aims to prevent abuse of authority, protect the public interest, and strengthen legal accountability for project failures.

Abstract

This study aims to find out in depth the meaning of Lejong that defines "visiting", typical local wisdom of Manggarai. Lejong is convinced as an effort to solve the conflict faced by Manggarai's students in Malang. This research was conducted on some of Manggarai's student communities in Malang, including IKAMMA, IMAMA, and others. This research focused on students who carried out the only Lejong activities, opened in depth about the meaning of Lejong as the local identity of the Manggarai community, especially in conflict management. The results of this study are the existence of local values accepted in the identity of the Manggarai community that has been rooted for a long time ago. It is undoubted that the role of senior in upholding the local identity of the Manggarai community, who are overseas, is also one of the "effective ways" in resolving conflicts that occur between Manggarai's students in Malang. This research is limited only to the Manggarai's students. The hope of this research is to contribute to the study of literature on conflict resolution based on local wisdom.

Abstract

These banking crimes, such as fictitious credit, are a significant issue in the banking sector. These crimes involve fraud, such as collusion between bank personnel and affected consumers, leading to losses for banks, clients, the public, and the government. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal implications of employee misconduct in banking, particularly in non-performing loans, focusing on prudential banking principles and statutory regulations. This study used a legal research method with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach. The study reveals the role of bank employees in ensuring bank compliance and preventing banking crimes. It highlights the responsibilities of Credit Decision Makers, Credit Analysts/Marketing, and Credit Administration in ensuring compliance with prudential principles. The author suggests that violations of Article 49 paragraph (2) letter a in Indonesia Banking Law should be classified as banking crimes rather than corruption crimes. A proactive approach from all banking elements, including internal audits and government support, is needed to prevent such crimes. The study also concludes that the legal liabilities of bank employees in non-performing loan cases primarily stem from breaches of prudential principles

Abstract

Indonesia’s construction sector faces acute payment risk, particularly for subcontractors and suppliers positioned downstream in multi-tier contractual chains. Unlike many common law jurisdictions that mitigate this risk through statutory construction lien rights, non-possessory security interests that attach to the improved aset, Indonesia lacks an equivalent construction-specific proprietary protection, leaving payment security largely dependent on contract remedies and general security devices. This article examines (i) how construction lien regimes function as project-specific security mechanisms in selected common law jurisdictions and (ii) the normative and functional gap created by their absence in Indonesia, along with feasible accommodation pathways. Employing doctrinal (normative) legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyzes representative lien frameworks in North Dakota, Texas, and Ontario. The analysis finds that, despite jurisdictional variations, lien regimes share a regulatory core: lien rights arise upon performance, are made transparent through notice/registration systems, operate under calibrated priority rules, and are enforceable against the project asset through structured procedures. By contrast, Indonesia’s principal security instruments, Mortgage Rights (Hak Tanggungan) and Fiduciary Security (Jaminan Fidusia), are structurally ill-suited to secure progressively embedded construction value and to protect parties lacking privity with owners. The article concludes that strengthening Indonesia’s construction security framework requires a construction-specific proprietary mechanism, preferably statutory recognition of construction lien rights with carefully designed registration, time limits, and priority rules to balance contributor protection with owner and financier certainty.

Abstract

The Indonesian Trade Secrets Law Number 30/2000 (ITS Law) postulates exemptions for acts that are not considered infringements to protect trade secrets. One of them is the reverse engineering of other people's trade secrets. The problem is that the ITS Law does not limit the extent to which reverse engineering can be justified. The absence of these limitations also allows attempts to disclose trade secrets under the pretext of reverse engineering. This problem ultimately results in the absence of legal certainty for the protection against trade secret disclosure, which is the sole responsibility of the trade secret owner. This article aims to re-analyze the protection provided by the ITS Law and examine the extent to which the limitations on reverse engineering can be justified in the ITS Law. This article used normative juridical research methods combined with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. It revealed a paradox in the protection of trade secrets against the possibility of trade secret disclosure. This article concluded that changes are necessary to the ITS Law, specifically by adjusting to the basic principles of IPR protection, limiting the extent to which the reverse engineering of other people's trade secrets can be justified, and adding a "Good Faith" clause in performing reverse engineering actions.

Abstract

Sebagai pemegang Hak Pengelolaan seluruh tanah di Kota Batam, BP Batam memiliki kewenangan memberikan Hak Guna Bangunan atau Hak Pakai di atas tanah tersebut kepada pihak ketiga melalui perjanjian. Namun, dalam Putusan Nomor 17/G/2020/PTUN.TPI, muncul ketidakpastian hukum akibat pembatalan sepihak perjanjian oleh BP Batam melalui surat keputusan yang membatalkan pengalokasian tanah kepada PT. Tria Galang Emas, lalu mengalokasikan tanah yang sama kepada PT. Wiraraja Tangguh. Tindakan ini menimbulkan persoalan hukum terkait keabsahan perjanjian dan akibat hukum dari tindakan BP Batam yang dinyatakan sebagai onrechtmatige overheidsdaad oleh pengadilan. Tesis ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum dengan pendekatan Statute Approach, Conceptual Approach, dan Case Study. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa BP Batam memang berwenang membuat perjanjian dengan pihak ketiga meskipun tanah belum bersertifikat HPL. Namun, sebaiknya hak pengelolaan terlebih dahulu diurus guna menghindari kendala administratif dan memperjelas legalitas perjanjian. Putusan pengadilan yang menyatakan adanya perbuatan melawan hukum oleh BP Batam menyebabkan pembatalan surat keputusan dan perjanjian dengan PT. Wiraraja Tangguh, serta tanah kembali menjadi hak PT. Tria Galang Emas. Oleh karena itu, BP Batam perlu memastikan status tanah bersih dari sengketa sebelum membuat perjanjian baru.
