<![CDATA[The difference of opinion among judges regarding the obligation to use Indonesian in rental agreements, as seen in District Court Decision Number 101/Pdt.G/2016/PN.Jkt.Sel and Supreme Court Decision Number 3230 K/Pdt/2018, creates legal uncertainty.

To prevent inconsistencies, improving judicial decision-making quality is essential.]]>
