However, in the development of civil practice, it is also known that there is abuse of circumstances (misbruik van omstandigheden) as a reason for canceling an agreement. In the legal system in force in Indonesia, abuse of conditions in agreements (misbruik van omstandigheden) is a relatively new topic in the study of Indonesian civil law, both in theory and judicial practice. The court decision that is the study of the doctrine of abuse of circumstances in agreements is the case between Parluhutan Sirait and Benny Arifin as stated in the Palangka Raya District Court Number 160/Pdt.G/2016/PN Plk.
