This article critically analyses unlawful-act liability in the regulation and supervision of online lending by Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK) through Cassation Decision Number 1206 K/Pdt/2024. It expressly separates the court's ratio and dispositive order from the authors' normative evaluation. The study uses normative legal research with statutory and case approaches, examining the LPBBTI rules applicable during the disputed period, subsequent regulatory developments up to 31 August 2026, and the elements of Civil Code Article 1365. The analysis focuses on the legal source of OJK's duty, unlawfulness, fault, loss, and causal connection, as well as the remedial character of a citizen lawsuit. It argues that supervisory failure cannot be inferred merely from consumer loss; causation must be tested through a specific legal duty, regulatory capacity to prevent the relevant risk, causal proximity, and the remedy sought. The decision is therefore treated as an object of critical legal analysis rather than authority for the proposition that OJK is civilly liable for every loss associated with online lending.
