Abstract

The term "bankruptcy" is basically a matter, where the condition of the debtor (the debtor) who stops paying or does not pay his debts to the creditor (the party who gives the debt). Stopping paying does not mean not paying at all, but for some reason the payment of the debt is not working properly, so if the debtor files for bankruptcy, the debtor cannot pay his debts or has no more income for his company to make debt payments. This paper will discuss the position of creditors against debtors related to bankruptcy. The author finds that what regulates the position of creditors in bankruptcy is not only the UUKPKPU (Bankruptcy Law & Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations), but also the Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek). This arrangement has several problems, namely the lack of clarity and incoherence in the laws and regulations. As a result, in practice the position of creditors becomes very weak. Creditors are divided into three, namely, concurrent creditors, separatist creditors, and preferred creditors. In relation to legal culture, law enforcers have recognized that the position of creditors in bankruptcy depends on the judge's decision and if the judge's decision is not in favor of creditors, this makes people prefer to resolve disputes through ways other than bankruptcy. Therefore the UUKPKPU (Bankruptcy Law & Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations) needs to clearly regulate the position of creditors.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in Indonesia’s economy as they generate employment, create business opportunities, and strengthen local economic resilience. However, in contractual relationships, MSMEs are often in a disadvantaged position due to limited capital, lack of legal knowledge, and restricted access to legal assistance, making them vulnerable to losses when disputes arise with landowners. This study employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches. The findings indicate that, normatively, Article 1548 of the Indonesian Civil Code stipulates that a lease agreement grants the lessee the right to enjoy the benefits of the leased object with the obligation to pay rent. In practice, however, MSMEs are frequently disadvantaged due to unbalanced standard clauses or the landowner’s lack of good faith. Legal protection for MSMEs can be realized through fair contractual arrangements, mediation mechanisms for dispute resolution, and the application of the principle of legal certainty as regulated under Articles 1338 and 1243 of the Indonesian Civil Code. Providing legal protection in vacant land lease agreements is essential to ensure business sustainability and prevent exploitative leasing practices against weaker parties. The role of the state through effective regulation and supervision, as well as the enforcement of the principle of good faith by landowners, is crucial. Legal certainty is achieved when each party respects their respective rights and obligations proportionally.
