Abstract

Indonesia’s economic expansion during the last two decades has relied heavily on foreign investment, which has created new challenges for domestic competition law. The Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU), established under Law No. 5 of 1999 on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition, serves as the guardian of fair market conduct. Despite the law’s progressive intent, its enforcement capacity has been hampered by institutional weaknesses, overlapping regulatory mandates, limited investigatory power, and insufficient judicial cooperation. These challenges are exacerbated by the rapid expansion of multinational corporations operating across Indonesia’s key sectors such as mining, telecommunications, and digital trade whose cross-border structures often outpace the jurisdictional reach of domestic regulators. Through doctrinal and qualitative analysis, this study examines the gap between the normative aspirations of Indonesia’s competition law and its practical enforcement by KPPU. The research highlights several critical issues: (1) the inadequacy of procedural mechanisms for handling transnational antitrust cases; (2) the persistent political and bureaucratic interference undermining KPPU’s institutional independence; and (3) the lack of coordination between KPPU and other economic authorities, which weakens the overall deterrent effect of competition law.The findings suggest that Indonesia’s competition regime must evolve to reflect the dynamics of globalised markets. Legal reforms should focus on enhancing KPPU’s investigative autonomy, ensuring judicial consistency in antitrust decisions, and aligning domestic enforcement with ASEAN and OECD competition standards. Strengthening KPPU’s institutional capacity and jurisdictional reach is essential not only to preserve fair competition but also to safeguard Indonesia’s economic sovereignty in the face of deepening global integration.

Abstract

This research examines the legal tension between the state’s interest in tax collection and the protection of bank customers’ privacy rights under two regimes: Law No. 9 of 2017 on Access to Financial Information for Tax Purposes and Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, alongside bank secrecy provisions in Law No. 10 of 1998. The expanded authority of tax authorities to access financial data aims to enhance transparency and compliance but risks infringing privacy rights. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, the study analyzes key legal sources, including the 1945 Constitution and Constitutional Court Decision No. 102/PUU-XV/2017. The analysis applies the principle of proportionality, as well as theories of legal protection (Philipus M. Hadjon) and legal certainty (Gustav Radbruch). Findings indicate that legal protection for bank customers remains largely formal and lacks substantive safeguards. Broad access by tax authorities is not matched by clear mechanisms of oversight, accountability, and legal responsibility. Normative overlap between tax disclosure rules and personal data protection obligations creates legal uncertainty for both financial institutions and customers. The study concludes that regulatory harmonization is necessary to resolve these conflicts. It recommends establishing an independent supervisory body and strengthening accountability frameworks to ensure a proportional balance between effective tax enforcement and the protection of citizens’ privacy rights. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Bahan hukum primer meliputi UUD NRI Tahun 1945, UU No. 9 Tahun 2017, UU No. 27 Tahun 2022, serta Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 102/PUU-XV/2017. Analisis dilakukan secara deskriptif-analitis dengan menelaah disharmoni norma dan penerapan asas proporsionalitas dalam pembatasan hak privasi. Pendekatan konseptual digunakan untuk mengkaji teori perlindungan hukum Philipus M. Hadjon dan teori kepastian hukum Gustav Radbruch sebagai pisau analisis terhadap pelaksanaan kebijakan keterbukaan informasi keuangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan hukum terhadap nasabah bank dalam pelaksanaan keterbukaan informasi keuangan masih bersifat formal dan belum substansial. Akses data keuangan oleh otoritas pajak belum diimbangi dengan mekanisme pengawasan, akuntabilitas, dan tanggung jawab hukum yang jelas. Terdapat tumpang tindih antara kewenangan fiskus dalam UU No. 9 Tahun 2017 dan kewajiban perlindungan data pribadi dalam UU No. 27 Tahun 2022, yang menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum bagi lembaga keuangan dan nasabah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan harmonisasi regulasi dan pembentukan lembaga pengawas independen untuk menjamin keseimbangan antara efektivitas fiskal dan perlindungan hak privasi warga negara.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of trademark protection in Indonesia’s e-commerce sector amid rising digital trade and increasing infringement, including unauthorized use, counterfeiting, and consumer deception. It aims to identify causal factors and evaluate enforcement mechanisms. Using a juridical-normative method with case studies, the research examines legal documents, infringement cases, and platform-level protection policies. The findings show that although regulations such as Law No. 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications and Government Regulation No. 80 of 2019 on Electronic Commerce exist, enforcement gaps persist, enabling ongoing violations. Key issues include weak supervision, inconsistent enforcement, and limited platform accountability. The study concludes that legal protection remains suboptimal due to lack of coordination among regulators, business actors, and e-commerce providers. Recommended measures include strengthening regulatory synergy, enhancing monitoring by authorities, optimizing platform-based filtering and enforcement mechanisms, and increasing legal awareness among businesses and consumers. These steps are necessary to ensure legal certainty, improve compliance, and support fair and sustainable growth of Indonesia’s e-commerce ecosystem.

Abstract

This study examines legal certainty in applying the lex specialis systematicis principle within Indonesian criminal tax law. As a branch of special criminal law (bijzonder strafrecht), tax law faces enforcement issues due to overlap and potential conflict with general criminal provisions in the KUHP. The principle asserts that a rule is “special” if designated by the legislator or if it deviates from other specific norms, ensuring tax law is applied within clear legal boundaries. The research uses a juridical-normative method with statutory and conceptual approaches. It analyzes relevant legislation on taxation and general criminal law, alongside legal doctrines, expert opinions, and court decisions. Findings show that Indonesian criminal tax law possesses systematic specificity, meaning tax provisions should take precedence over general criminal rules in handling tax offenses. This applies to both substantive and procedural aspects, including offense classification, sanctions, and mechanisms such as limited reverse burden of proof. However, debate persists بشأن whether criminal tax law fully qualifies as special criminal law and whether the lex specialis systematicis principle applies absolutely. Legal certainty remains challenged by inconsistent interpretation and application. The study concludes that stronger legal harmonization and consistent jurisprudence are required to ensure clarity, fairness, and reliability in tax law enforcement.

Abstract

The digitalization of the judiciary through E-Litigation, as regulated in Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2019, presents challenges in synchronizing with Indonesia’s classical civil procedural law (HIR/RBG), which has been in force for more than a century. This study examines the compatibility between electronic evidence mechanisms under PERMA No. 1 of 2019 and the evidentiary provisions in Article 164 of HIR and Articles 284/285 of RBG. Employing normative legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the analysis focuses on vertical and horizontal synchronization. The findings reveal that vertically, PERMA No. 1 of 2019 functions as a gap-filling regeling teknis that expands the interpretation of documentary evidence without contravening higher-level norms. Horizontally, synchronization with the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) provides substantive legitimacy to electronic documents as valid evidence. While procedural unification has been achieved, the main obstacle lies in the legal culture of practitioners who remain attached to paper-based evidence. This study contributes by offering a dogmatic analysis of synchronization—particularly the hierarchical and cultural dimensions—which has been less emphasized in prior studies.

Abstract

The existence of customary law in Indonesia, including in Bengkulu Province, is part of the legal pluralism that is still alive and thriving in society. However, in practice, the implementation of customary criminal acts often faces challenges in its integration with the national legal system, particularly regarding the dualism of case resolution, legal certainty, and protection of human rights. This condition raises the need for harmonization between customary criminal law and national law to create a just and effective legal system. This study aims to analyze the forms and characteristics of customary criminal acts in Bengkulu and formulate an appropriate harmonization model within the framework of the national legal system. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach, through a qualitative descriptive analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that customary criminal acts in Bengkulu have a communal and restorative character oriented towards restoring social relations. Harmonization can be achieved by strengthening the recognition of customary law in regulations, integrating the principles of restorative justice into the criminal justice system, and establishing limits on the types of cases that can be resolved through customary law. Thus, this harmonization is able to maintain a balance between the local values ​​of indigenous communities and the principles of national law.

Abstract

This study examines the application of rehabilitation for individuals convicted of corruption offenses through the lens of modern sentencing theory, and proposes normative criteria for its implementation within Indonesian positive law. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case-based approaches, legal materials were analyzed qualitatively. The findings reveal that rehabilitation in Indonesian law rests on a strong constitutional foundation as an attributed power of the President, and has progressively evolved into an instrument for protecting individual rights within the criminal justice system. However, the existing legal framework remains incomplete, as it does not explicitly accommodate rehabilitation for convicts whose sentences carry permanent legal force—particularly in corruption cases that intersect with business decision-making. From a modern sentencing theory perspective, rehabilitation functions as a corrective mechanism to shield individuals from potential state error, provided it does not compromise the public interest in eradicating corruption. Accordingly, five strict normative criteria are proposed for its application: (1) demonstrable error in the criminal conviction, (2) a lawful basis of authority, (3) relevance to the business judgment rule, (4) adherence to the principle of proportionality, and (5) assurance that no impunity is created. Rehabilitation, under these conditions, should be viewed not as a weakening of criminal law, but as an integral corrective mechanism within the rule of law that sustains a balance among legal certainty, justice, and social utility.
Legal Status of Wills Not Reported by Notaries to the Will Registration Center (Case Study: Decision Number 91/Pdt/2021/PT.PTK) Verdilla, Utami Dinda; Hasbi, Muhammad; Mannas, Yussy Adelina

Abstract

This study examines the legal standing of a notarial will deed not reported to Indonesia's Central Will Registration Center, with a case study of Pontianak High Court Decision No. 91/Pdt/2021/PT.PTK. Using a normative juridical method—statutory, conceptual, and case approaches—the study addresses two questions: (1) what is the regulatory framework for will reporting by notaries? and (2) what were the judges' considerations in Decision No. 91/Pdt/2021/PT.PTK? The study finds that the reporting obligation rests on a hierarchical normative structure: the Civil Code as material law, Law No. 30/2004 as amended by Law No. 2/2014 on the Notary Profession (UUJN) as the obligation-setter, and Minister of Law Regulation No. 16/2025 as the technical instrument. Despite this clear framework, the Pontianak High Court held that a notarial will retains its evidentiary force as an authentic deed even when not reported to the Will Registration Center, because reporting is an administrative obligation of the notary and its omission does not constitute a ground for nullification under existing law. This creates a normative gap that weakens legal certainty for heirs and beneficiaries.

Abstract

A will deed is an authentic deed made before a Notary pursuant to Article 15(1) of Law No. 30/2004 on the Notary Profession (amended by Law No. 2/2014). Although a notarial will carries perfect evidentiary power, it may be cancelled when it conflicts with the rights of legitimate heirs (legitieme portie). This normative juridical study employs statutory and case approaches to examine: (1) the regulatory framework for cancellation of a will in the presence of legitimate heirs; (2) the judicial considerations in High Court Decision No. 805/PDT/2018/PT.DKI; and (3) the legal consequences of that cancellation for all parties. Results show that cancellation is governed by Articles 875–940 of the Civil Code; the High Court confirmed that Will Deed No. 32 violated the heirs’ absolute share, rendering it without binding legal force; and the consequences include loss of the deed’s evidentiary power, redistribution of the estate to lawful heirs, and potential civil liability for the Notary.

Abstract

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) conflicts in the music industry, focusing on the misuse of sampling that often leads to legal disputes. Sampling, as a modern music creation technique, carries artistic value, yet its use frequently clashes with copyright protection. This study employs a normative legal method through statutory approaches and case analyses. The findings indicate that sampling without permission from the copyright holder has the potential to infringe both the moral and economic rights of the creator, thereby leading to legal consequences. These results emphasize the importance of a deeper understanding of copyright regulations among music industry actors in order to achieve a balance between creative freedom and the protection of intellectual property rights.
