<![CDATA[A notary plays a crucial role in drafting authentic deeds as valid evidence in various agreements, including sale and purchase agreements. In carrying out their duties, notaries are bound by Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 on the Notary Profession (UUJN). However, in practice, cases often arise where notaries are suspected of engaging in unlawful acts, either due to negligence or intentional misconduct, leading to legal disputes. One notable case highlighting the liability of notaries is District Court Decision Number 54/Pdt.G/2020/PN.Unr, which discusses the legal implications for notaries who commit violations in sale and purchase agreements.
