This study examines the legal uncertainty faced by winners of mortgage execution auctions in obtaining physical possession of auction objects due to lawsuits. The problem arises from the inconsistency between Article 207 paragraph (3) of the HIR, which states that opposition lawsuits do not suspend execution, and the 2019 District Court Execution Guidebook, which permits temporary suspension. Divergent interpretations at the district court level create non-uniform application of law that is detrimental to good-faith auction winners. This research employs a normative juridical method with statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings demonstrate: first, lawsuits filed by debtors or third parties who cannot prove legitimate ownership rights should not be able to suspend eviction execution; second, auction winners who have obtained the Auction Minutes (Risalah Lelang) as an authentic deed are entitled to full legal protection, both preventive and repressive, including the right to compensation if execution is unlawfully delayed. This study recommends the need for firm and synchronized regulations to guarantee legal certainty for auction winners.
