Notaries as public officials have the authority to make authentic deeds that provide legal certainty for society. This research analyzes notary liability in Decision Number 5/Pdt.G/2023/PN Btl where the notary made intentional errors in making debt and receivables agreement deeds. The research method uses a normative juridical approach with case analysis. Results show that the notary violated Article 16 paragraph (1) letters a and m of the Notary Position Law by making deeds that harmed one party. Consequently, the deed degraded to an under-hand deed. The notary was subject to administrative sanctions and potentially faced civil compensation claims.
