Abstract

ABSTRACT This research is based on the fact that globalization has driven the development of information and communication technology, which in turn has changed people's lifestyles and various aspects of life, including the economy. The transition from a traditional manufacturing-based economy to a digital economy based on information technology and creativity is known as the creative economy. However, information technology also brings challenges, such as data security issues in online loans. Fintech (financial technology) has become a significant innovation in the financial sector, facilitating financial transactions through services such as e-commerce and online loans. The method in this research is to use the Normative legal research method using a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. The legal materials in this study are primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that: The government has made efforts to provide legal protection against possible crimes that occur to consumers of illegal online loans through preventive and repressive actions. Preventive actions are carried out through the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE), Law Number 27 of 2022, concerning Personal Data Protection (PDP Law), and the role of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in supervising the circulation of online loan services. Repressive legal protection is implemented through Article 2 Paragraph 1 and Article 15 Paragraph 2 of the PDP Law, Law Number 11 of 2008 Article 26 Paragraph 1 concerning the ITE Law, and other laws that stipulate sanctions such as fines, imprisonment, and other additional penalties. Law enforcement against perpetrators of personal data abuse in the context of illegal online loans includes two main approaches, judicial and non-judicial legal efforts. Judicial legal efforts involve the court process to resolve disputes after violations and unlawful acts occur based on the PDP Law, the ITE Law, and Article 368 of the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, non-judicial legal efforts involve complaints to relevant institutions, such as the OJK, Kominfo, and the Police, which have a role in supervising, imposing administrative sanctions, and conducting investigations into these violations. This approach emphasizes the importance of cooperation between various institutions to ensure effective law enforcement against illegal practices in the online lending sector.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Land and Building Acquisition Fee (hereinafter abbreviated as BPHTB) according to Law No. 1 of 2022 in Article 1 paragraph (37) states "Land and Building Acquisition Fee, hereinafter abbreviated as BPHTB, is a tax on the acquisition of land and/or building rights". The BPHTB collection system is calculated and paid by the taxpayer himself, namely with the Self Assessment System. In Lamongan Regency, Article 16 paragraph (1) of Lamongan Regency Regulation Number 10 of 2023 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Retributions explains that PPAT/Notary requests proof of BPHTB payment from taxpayers, indicating that there are characteristics of a self-assessment system where BPHTB tax must be paid by taxpayers. In the Lamongan Regency Regulation, BPHTB payments are made electronically. In practice, this system is still mixed with the official assessment system in terms of research and calculation of BPHTB owed and then the supervision process by the government/fiscus carried out by the Lamongan Regency Regional Revenue Agency. Bapenda supervises if there is a discrepancy in the calculation, a tax underpayment letter will be issued which must be paid by the taxpayer, so that the self-assessment system is not fully running. This study uses a normative legal research method (normative law). The normative legal research method is a scientific research procedure to find the truth based on the logic of legal science from its normative side. In this normative research, the analysis method used is a qualitative approach by collecting data and materials needed through literature studies either through books, articles, journals or internet media. The results of this study are the system in collecting BPHTB, namely the self-assessment system, which still has the involvement of the fiscus/government in the BPHTB payment process, namely the official assessment system.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Noodweer excess is a condition where a person commits an unlawful act as a form of forced defense that exceeds the limit due to a threat or sudden attack. The justification for Noodweer excess is regulated in Article 49 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code which allows the judge not to impose a sentence if there is a legitimate reason for self-defense, so that the defendant can be released from the clutches of the criminal code. This also becomes the legal basis for the judge in decision Number 4 / Pid.B / 2024 / PN JNP to provide an acquittal for the defendant who has been proven to have committed a crime that resulted in the death of a person. Based on the background above, the author proposes a formulation of the problem, namely; first, how is the regulation of forced defense beyond the limit (noodweer excess) in the Criminal Code?, second, how is the analysis of the judge's considerations in decision Number 4 / Pid.B / 2024 / PN JNP. This research method uses a normative legal research type, with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The legal materials used are primary legal materials including: Criminal Code and Decision Number 4/Pid.B/2024/PN JNP. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that: first, Article 49 paragraph 2 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) regulates forced defense (noodweer excess) that exceeds the limit. The act is still against the law, but due to the conditions or reasons for the forced defense that exceeds the limit, the error is eliminated. Justifying and forgiving reasons can eliminate the criminal nature of an act. Second, Case Number 4/Pild.B/2024/PN. Jnp shows that the defendant cannot be punished because his actions meet the requirements of noodweer excess, as a response to threats with a knife from the victim. The defendant's actions are proven to meet the elements of forced defense that exceeds the limit which is carried out due to mental shock due to serious attacks or threats.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Land disputes in Indonesia, including in Tlogoreto Village, are complex and often protracted problems when resolved through conventional litigation. The lengthy and costly legal process makes alternative approaches, such as Restorative Justice, an increasingly relevant solution. Restorative Justice emphasizes the restoration of relations between the parties to the dispute through dialogue and mutual agreement. In this context, the restorative approach is expected to be able to provide a more effective and harmonious settlement of land disputes in Tlogoreto Village. This study uses a normative juridical method with an analysis of applicable laws and regulations, as well as legal doctrines related to land dispute resolution and the application of Restorative Justice. The Restorative Justice approach in resolving land disputes in Tlogoreto Village focuses on mediation involving all parties to the dispute, as well as community leaders as mediators. This process aims to reach a fair agreement for all parties, by prioritizing the restoration of social relations. The analysis shows that the application of Restorative Justice is more effective in reducing tensions and producing sustainable solutions than resolving disputes through the courts. However, the challenge in applying this method lies in the lack of public understanding of Restorative Justice and the limited formal recognition of the results. Restorative Justice offers an alternative to resolving land disputes that is faster, cheaper, and able to improve relations between the parties to the dispute in Tlogoreto Village. This approach is in line with the principle of restorative justice which focuses on recovery rather than punishment. Although its application has not yet been fully formally recognized in Indonesia's legal system, Restorative Justice can be an important step in land dispute settlement reform, especially at the local level.

Abstract

ABSTRACT At the regional level, the government's commitment to the formation of Regional Regulations on the recognition of indigenous peoples as one of the customary law instruments is still low, customary law instruments should be able to form binding forces and provide justice for indigenous peoples. In this case, the existence of indigenous youth is urgently needed in decision-making and their dedicated efforts in climate action, the search for justice, and the creation of intergenerational relationships that preserve their culture and traditions. Indigenous youth are very strategic in mapping customary territories, advocating for policies and succeeding in the management of customary territories based on the culture and wisdom traditions of indigenous peoples. The existence of indigenous youth as the next generation greatly determines the credibility of customary law instruments.
