Abstract

The terms "Default" and "Fraud" and/or “Embezzlement” are often interchanged without clarity of meaning in many discussion forums, both oral and written. This confusion can be seen from the many court decisions that acquit defendants from prosecution which have permanent legal force. The public often hears that law enforcers carry out criminalization, such as witnesses becoming suspects, suspects becoming defendants and so on by shifting the civil legal action of Default to criminal act of Fraud and/or Embezzlement. Using 'criminalization' and 'criminalized' in this article is considered inappropriate, so it has been replaced by 'criminalizing' and 'criminalized'. If there is an action to shift the civil legal act of Default into a criminal act of Fraud and/ or Embezzlement, so from a human rights perspective, it is against the law. By using normative legal research methods, this paper examines how to differentiate civil legal acts of Default from criminal acts of Fraud and/or Embezzlement, how to apply civil compensation in cases where there are already criminal legal remedies, and what is the legal and human rights perspective when criminalization occurs. This paper uses a statutory approach and a case approach. The results show: First, there is a real difference between civil legal acts of Default and criminal acts of Fraud and/ or Embezzlement; Second, the application of compensation can be carried out through criminal and civil procedural law mechanisms; Finally, criminalizing civil legal acts into criminal acts is a form of violation of human rights.

Abstract

It is necessary to facilitate an easy access to the courts to protect weaker parties. This can be achieved by regulating the personal jurisdiction of the court, so that weaker parties can easily access the courts. In Indonesian civil justice system, some regulations have been implemented to protect weaker parties through the jurisdiction of the courts. This article will elaborate those regulations and their obstacles in protecting the access of consumers, workers, women and children, and foreigners to the Indonesian courts. Statutory approach with reference to the general principles of the court personal jurisdiction and the principles of access to justice for the weaker parties will be employed. This article finds that some regulations related to the court personal jurisdiction in Indonesia provide protection to the weaker parties by allowing them to submit their claim to the court where they reside against the counterparty. However, lack of consistency may hinder the implementation.
