Penelitiаn Skripsi ini merupаkаn merupаkаn penelitiаn hukum yuridis normаtif dengаn mengunаkаn metode pendekаtаn Pendekatan Konseptual dan Pendekatan Perundang-undangan.

Berdаsаrkаn hаsil penelitiаn, berangkat dari keadaan tidak terduga pandemi COVID-19 saat ini, ditemukan bahwa dalam Hukum Kontrak Indonesia terdapat kekosongan hukum pengaturan tentang prinsip Hardship. Pada dasarnya prinsip ini memiliki kemiripan dengan Force Majeure, namun akibat hukum dan penerapan hukumnya berbeda. Klausul Hardship lebih tepat untuk digunakan bagi kontrak-kontrak bisnis yang terdampak COVID-19 karena prinsip Hardship mencakup perubahan keadaan yang disebabkan penurunan nilai ekonomis dari suatu kontrak yang menyebabkan kerugian bagi salah satu pihak dan memberi dasar hukum bagi para pihak untuk melakukan renegosiasi kontrak. Oleh sebab itu Indonesia perlu mengatur prinsip Hardship dalam Hukum Perjanjian Indonesia. Indonesia dapat menerapkan prinsip Hardship dalam Hukum Positif Indonesia yaitu dengan mencakup pengaturan Hardship mengenai definisi Hardship, syarat-syarat Hardship, serta akibat hukum dari Hardship. Kata Kunci: Hardship, Force Majeure, COVID-19 ABSTRACT This research discusses the urgency in the regulation of hardship as a measure taken to provide legal protection for the people concerned during the era of Covid-19. This research topic departed from the huge impact brought by Covid-19 as a non-natural disaster on the Indonesian economy, causing businesses to fail to fulfill the responsibilities outlined in contracts. This situation urges the writer to delve more into the solutions or the alternatives for the parties involved in a contract to ensure that they do not take the loss, and one of the alternatives can be done with hardship. This research employed normative-juridical methods, a conceptual approach, and a statutory approach. The research data consisted of primary, secondary, and tertiary data obtained from documentation and library studies. The data collected were further analyzed using systematic and grammatical interpretations by giving meaning to law and setting the structure of law. The research results indicate that 1) the urgency of the regulation concerning hardship as a measure to protect legal protection for the parties concerned during the era of Covid-19 is due to the condition where the force majeure clause cannot cover situations that can experience fundamental changes such as the reduced economic values of a contract. Hardship is considered suitable for such a situation since it is seen to be able to provide the legal basis for the parties to renegotiate their contract. Therefore, Indonesia needs to regulate the principles of hardship in contract law in Indonesia, 2) the regulation of hardship in contract law in Indonesia takes into account the definition of hardship, the requirements, and the legal consequence.
