Abstract

This study examines legal protection for service providers against unilateral contract termination by service users in the construction sector in Indonesia. This problem arises from the imbalance in the legal and economic positions between the parties, as well as weak legal regulations that provide room for broad interpretation for service users. This study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory, conceptual, case, and comparative legal approach. The analysis was conducted on the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), Law Number 2 of 2017 concerning Construction Services, and Presidential Regulation Number 16 of 2018, then compared with the legal systems of the European Union, China, and South Korea. The results of the study indicate that legal protection in Indonesia is still administrative and formalistic, not guaranteeing proportional contractual justice for service providers. Therefore, this study recommends a balanced contractual protection model, which emphasizes compensation obligations, the principle of good faith, and the establishment of an independent contract mediation institution as a solution towards a fair, transparent, and sustainable contractual legal system.

Abstract

This study examines the application of the principle of good faith in Indonesian construction contracts, highlighting the challenges it faces due to the technical complexity, high uncertainty, and financial risks inherent in construction projects. While the principle is affirmed in Article 1338 paragraph (3) of the Civil Code, its practical application remains unclear, often leading to disputes over delays, compensation claims, and unclear obligations. In modern construction contracts, particularly those based on international standards like FIDIC, good faith is emphasized as an operational principle, with dispute resolution mechanisms like Dispute Adjudication Boards supporting collaboration and early dispute resolution. However, empirical studies show that these boards are sometimes used for strategic delays and selective disclosures, highlighting the tension between theoretical principles and practical behavior. The study also explores how digitalization, through technologies like Building Information Modeling, audit logs, and blockchain, transforms project monitoring and verification, offering opportunities to redefine good faith as an objective, verifiable principle. This research aims to assess the role of good faith in construction contracts, dispute boards, and digitalization, providing insights into how digital tools can help objectify and enforce good faith in Indonesian construction practices.

Abstract

Commitment Making Officials (PPK) play a crucial role in the entire cycle of Government Procurement of Goods/Services (PBJP) in Indonesia, starting from planning, contract binding, to handing over work results. This strategic position, which is always related to decision-making with implications for state budget spending, makes the PPK very vulnerable to legal risks, both in the form of contract disputes, maladministration, and alleged corruption. This research aims to analyze the authority and responsibilities of the PPK in the PBJP and formulate a strategy for optimizing governance and legal protection for the PPK to prevent irregularities and minimize potential state losses. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that optimizing the role of PPK requires: strengthening managerial and legal competence; structuring of work mechanisms that are more accountable and transparent; and the formation of a professional support team (legal, technical, and financial) as an instrument to mitigate legal and financial risks for the PPK in the implementation of the PBJP contract.
