Abstract

Introduction: Civil law reform increasingly grapples with a persistent dilemma: how to preserve doctrinal coherence while ensuring outcomes that realise substantive justice in concrete disputes. This article analyzes this tension by comparing contemporary legal trajectories in Indonesia and Spain, focusing on whether existing civil codes, procedural frameworks, and judicial reasoning can effectively align legal certainty with equitable results.Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this study is to examine the interaction between formal rigidity and material fairness within civil law systems. Specifically, it aims to compare the three analytical axes of good faith principles, equitable evidentiary and remedial design, and institutional mechanisms (like appellate oversight) in Indonesia and Spain to guide judicial discretion without eroding predictability.Methods of the Research: This research employs a normative–comparative approach. It focuses on studying the law 'in the books' and 'in action' by analyzing civil codes, procedural frameworks, judicial precedents (Supreme Court circulars in Indonesia, Constitutional and Supreme Court interpretations in Spain), and scholarly debates, particularly in consumer and contractual disputes.Results / Main Findings / Novelty/Originality of the Research: The findings reveal both jurisdictions confront parallel challenges: formal rigidity, unequal procedural access, and gaps between normative ideals and lived justice. This study proposes a progressive framework that combines procedural refinement, principled judicial discretion, and responsive legislative adjustment, illustrating how civil law systems can evolve towards judgments that are both predictable and experienced as substantively just.

Abstract

Introduction: The phenomenon of trading in influence is a form of political corruption that is difficult to identify because it operates within the realm of power relations that do not always take the form of direct bribery. Political parties in the context of modern democracies often act as mediators between public and economic interests, making them potentially key actors in the practice of trading in influence.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to analyze the involvement of political parties in the practice of trading in influence and compare the effectiveness of regulations and law enforcement in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Furthermore, this study examines the extent to which the civil legal systems in both countries are able to close legal loopholes that allow for covert political corruption.Methods of the Research: This research uses a normative legal method with a comparative approach, examining legislation, jurisprudence, and international documents related to political corruption. Secondary data was obtained through a study of academic literature, reports from anti-corruption agencies, and a comparative analysis of the implementation of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) in both jurisdictions, namely Indonesia and Sri Lanka.Results / Main Findings / Novelty/Originality of the Research: The results show that Indonesia and Sri Lanka face similar challenges in enforcing laws against influence peddling due to weak regulations explicitly addressing the practice. However, Indonesia has shown progress in adopting the principles of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), while Sri Lanka remains limited to an administrative approach without strong criminal sanctions.

Abstract

Introduction: Ownership of recognized land in Ambon, particularly in the Dati (locally recognized land), is granted by the state to individuals who have rendered services to the state and possess strong legal rights that can be passed on to the rights holder's descendants. Generally, land in the Ambon region is customary land (tanah dati) subject to and controlled by the right of ownership (beschikkingsrecht) of the village or village concerned.Purposes of the Research: To examine the factors that led to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia's decisions being enforced using outdated evidence and how to influence the reconstruction of ambiguity regarding the justice of Supreme Court decisions enforced based on the 1814 Dati Register, which contains a failed evidentiary system.Methods of the Research: Sociolegal research, a combination of doctrinal and empirical legal research methods.Results Main Findings of the Research: The weaknesses of Supreme Court decisions enforced using outdated evidence are: The 1814 Dati Register was not intended as proof of land ownership under modern law, but rather as an administrative tool for colonial tax purposes; The 1814 Dati Register Letter is old, incomplete and often does not correspond to the actual conditions of existing customary land, thus causing uncertainty and disputes; the existence of differences in interpretation of customary law and national law in courts causes the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia often do not reflect substantive justice for indigenous peoples; and this failure has implications for obstacles to customary land registration at the National Land Agency and the potential for prolonged conflict between indigenous peoples and other parties, and the abolition of the dati institution as outlined in the decision on June 1, 1923, contains the meaning of changes in the customary land ownership system in Ambon, especially the change from the concept of dati-doesoen (land dati) to poesaka-doesoen. make it in academic English.

Abstract

Introduction: The issue of recognizing children born outside formal marital bonds remains a critical concern within indigenous communities, particularly when traditional values clash with the provisions of the state's positive legal system. In this context, the Soa Matoke indigenous community has developed its own mechanism known as makasusue, which serves as a means of resolution and social legitimization.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to examine and analyze the practice of makasusue as a customary instrument of legitimacy in the process of child recognition within the Soa Matoke community. The makasusue tradition holds a significant position in the social structure of the community, as it forms the basis for recognizing the identity and status of children born outside of formal marriage. This research seeks to explore how the makasusue mechanism is implemented, the customary values that underpin it, and its relevance to the principles of national law regarding child recognition.Methods of the Research: The research employs a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, soa heads, parents involved in the makasusue ritual, and other relevant parties, as well as participatory observation of makasusue practices in the field. The data are also supported by a review of customary documents and relevant regulations.Results Main Findings of the Research: The findings indicate that makasusue functions not only as a means of social reconciliation but also as a customary legal mechanism that provides social recognition and kinship rights to the child. This tradition represents a concrete manifestation of living law within indigenous society, although it continues to face challenges in its harmonization with Indonesia's positive legal system.
