Abstract

Corruption is an extraordinary crime that has far-reaching impacts on state finances, the legal system, and public trust. In combating corruption, the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi/KPK) and the Public Prosecutor’s Office (Kejaksaan) play strategic roles, particularly in the prosecution of corruption cases. However, the amendment of Law Number 30 of 2002 into Law Number 19 of 2019 on the Corruption Eradication Commission has brought significant changes to the institutional position and authority of the KPK, affecting its relationship with the Prosecutor’s Office. This study aims to analyze the policies of the KPK and the Prosecutor’s Office in regulating prosecutorial authority and to examine the implications of the amendment to the KPK Law for the effectiveness of corruption law enforcement in Indonesia. This research employs an empirical legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and empirical approaches through interviews, observation, and literature review. The findings indicate that the amendment to the KPK Law has strengthened coordination and oversight mechanisms, but at the same time has posed challenges to the independence and speed of prosecution. Therefore, the effectiveness of corruption eradication after the amendment largely depends on strengthening institutional synergy, clarifying the division of authority, and ensuring consistency in prosecutorial policies between the KPK and the Prosecutor’s Office.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the President’s authority to grant abolition as regulated under Article 14 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and to examine its implications for the rule of law and the principle of checks and balances within the Indonesian constitutional system. Abolition constitutes a distinctive form of state clemency because it terminates criminal prosecution prior to a final court judgment, thereby directly intersecting with judicial independence. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, with the granting of abolition to Tom Lembong serving as a case study. The results show that, normatively, the President’s authority to grant abolition is constitutionally valid; however, the absence of comprehensive statutory regulation creates legal uncertainty and weakens normative safeguards. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the supervisory role of the House of Representatives tends to function procedurally rather than substantively, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the checks and balances mechanism. Accordingly, this study concludes that strengthening the normative framework and oversight mechanisms is essential to ensure that the exercise of abolition remains consistent with the rule of law, substantive justice, and the independence of Indonesia’s criminal justice system.

Abstract

Human life is inseparable from concerns regarding the welfare of family members left behind after the death of the primary breadwinner. Insurance has become an integral part of modern human life, serving to maintain life balance and ensure the economic stability of families when the breadwinner passes away. The presence of life insurance is expected to provide financial protection so that the surviving family members may continue to live in adequate conditions. One of the fundamental principles in insurance law is the principle of utmost good faith. Therefore, consumers, in this case the insured, are required to disclose information fully and accurately. Failure to do so previously entitled the insurer to unilaterally cancel the insurance contract in accordance with Article 251 of the Commercial Code. However, the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, through Decision Number 83/PUU-XII/2024, declared that Article 251 of the Commercial Code is contrary to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and therefore has no binding legal force. Accordingly, the legal issue examined in this study concerns how disputes arising from defects of consent committed by the insured should be resolved following the Constitutional Court Decision Number 83/PUU-XXII/2024. This research employs a normative legal research method. The study concludes that insurers may still cancel an insurance agreement if a defect of consent committed by the insured is proven, by filing a tort claim based on an unlawful act before the District Court.

Abstract

This study examines the legal meaning of the phrase "...approved by the marriage registrar or notary" in Article 29 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage following the Constitutional Court Decision Number 69/PUU-XIII/2015, and analyzes the binding force of notarial deeds of marriage agreements against third parties. The research employs a doctrinal legal research method through library research, utilizing statute and conceptual approaches, with primary legal materials including the Civil Code, Marriage Law, Notary Position Law, and the Constitutional Court decision, supplemented by secondary materials such as legal literature, journals, and court rulings, analyzed descriptively and prescriptively via systematic and grammatical interpretation. Findings reveal that "approval" by a marriage registrar (Civil Registry Office) or notary constitutes a formal administrative act fulfilling publicity principles, where notaries achieve this through authentic deeds, notarization, legalization, or waarmerking of private documents, inherently providing perfect evidentiary power under Article 1868 and 1870 of the Civil Code without requiring subsequent registration. However, inconsistencies arise from implementing regulations like Circulars from the Directorate General of Civil Administration and Islamic Guidance, which mandate reporting to registrars, creating norm conflicts and judicial inconsistencies as seen in rulings such as High Court Decision 50/Pdt/2021/PT SMG (recognizing validity) versus Batam Religious Court 1718/Pdt.G/2021/PA.BTM (denying binding effect). The notarial deed possesses full binding force against third parties upon approval, grounded in progressive law theory prioritizing substantive justice, legal certainty, and preventive protection, though enhanced publicity via AHU Online registration is recommended to resolve practical ambiguities and ensure uniform enforcement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal certainty in determining heirs of different religions and its implications in the issuance of a Certificate of Inheritance (SKW) in the Indonesian legal system. The problem of interfaith inheritance creates a dilemma between the normative provisions of Islamic inheritance law that prohibit inheritance between parties of different religions and the demands of justice in a pluralistic society. Normatively, the Compilation of Islamic Law emphasizes that religious differences are a barrier to inheritance, so that non-Muslim heirs do not have the right to inherit from Muslim heirs. However, in judicial practice, the Supreme Court through its jurisprudence provides a solution through the mechanism of mandatory wills to bridge the tension between legal certainty and substantive justice. This study uses a normative juridical research method with a statutory regulatory approach and a case approach, particularly through an analysis of court decisions related to interfaith inheritance. The results of the study indicate that the certainty of determining heirs of different religions is not only determined by written legal norms, but also by the development of jurisprudence that provides legal protection for non-Muslim heirs through mandatory wills. The implications of issuing a SKW place notaries in a limited position, namely, merely formalizing legal facts based on court rulings and not having the authority to determine the status of heirs. Therefore, notaries are required to exercise prudence and ensure that every deed they create complies with applicable law to ensure its legal validity

Abstract

Indonesia, as a country governed by the rule of law, places law as the foundation for governance and the protection of citizens' rights. In ensuring legal certainty for various legal acts, notaries play a crucial role as public officials authorized to issue authentic deeds. However, in practice, notaries can be subject to administrative sanctions, including dishonorable dismissal, if they violate their obligations and prohibitions as stipulated in laws and regulations. Problems arise when the decision to dishonorably dismiss is subsequently overturned by the court, while the prevailing regulations do not clearly regulate the mechanism for rehabilitation of notaries. This situation creates a legal vacuum that has the potential to lead to legal uncertainty and the failure to protect the rights of injured notaries. This study aims to analyze the legal provisions regarding dishonorable dismissal of notaries and formulate appropriate regulations regarding rehabilitation of notaries upon the cancellation of such dismissal decisions. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The legal materials used include laws and regulations, legal doctrine, and court decisions, particularly Supreme Court Decision Number 294 K/TUN/2021. The research results show that although the Indonesian legal system has provided legal protection mechanisms through administrative remedies and lawsuits to the State Administrative Court, there are no regulations that explicitly regulate the rehabilitation of a Notary's position after the revocation of a dishonorable dismissal decision. Therefore, regulations are needed that explicitly regulate the rehabilitation mechanism for a Notary's position, including restoration of a Notary's good name, reinstatement as a Notary, restoration of the right to practice, and the return of other administrative rights to ensure legal certainty and the protection of Notary's rights.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the limits of a notary’s civil liability in the preparation of banking credit agreement deeds based on materially inaccurate documents, as well as to examine the juridical implications for the validity of authentic deeds and the legal relationships between the parties. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, supported by an analysis of banking regulations, the Civil Code, and the Notary Position Act. The results indicate that, in principle, a notary is only responsible for the formal validity of the deed, insofar as all procedures and statutory requirements have been fulfilled. However, under certain circumstances, a notary may be held civilly liable if proven to have acted negligently, carelessly, or in violation of the duty of prudence. Furthermore, the use of materially inaccurate documents may lead to defects of consent, unlawful acts, and the degradation of the evidentiary strength of an authentic deed into that of a private document. Therefore, it is necessary to establish clearer normative boundaries regarding the extent of material verification by notaries in order to ensure legal certainty and protection for the parties in banking credit practices. This study also emphasizes the importance of harmonizing the prudential banking principle with notarial authority to prevent an imbalance of legal responsibility that may adversely affect financial institutions and the public at large. In addition, it provides normative recommendations to clarify the scope of notarial liability in the future.

Abstract

This study examines the legal issues of divorce in the context of domestic conflict triggered by religious conversion within Islam, which has not been explicitly regulated as a ground for divorce in Indonesian positive law. The study focuses on how the open-textured norm of Article 116 letter (f) of the Compilation of Islamic Law is interpreted in judicial practice, and its implications for legal certainty. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach, to analyze the adequacy of the norm and the construction of its application by judges. The results of the discussion indicate that religious conversion cannot be used as a direct reason for divorce, but is only relevant if it causes continuous disputes and quarrels that impact household disharmony. However, the absence of operational parameters in the norm leaves room for judicial discretion and has the potential to lead to inconsistent decisions. Therefore, strengthening through the formulation of operational parameters that can guide judges' assessments in a more structured manner, including by adopting a preventive approach that considers early indications of conflict. These parameters include aspects of conflict escalation, ideological depth, impact on family function, and the possibility of disharmony rationally. Theoretically, this construction aligns with the principles of legal certainty and progressive law that is responsive to social dynamics. For implementation, these parameters should ideally be formulated in a Supreme Court Regulation as an interpretive guideline to improve the consistency, predictability, and quality of decisions in the religious courts

Abstract

The provision of legal aid for the poor is part of fulfilling the constitutional right to access to justice as guaranteed by the Indonesian legal system. This study aims to analyze the provision of legal aid in Batu City through collaborative practices between the local government and Legal Aid Institutions/Legal Aid Organizations (LBH/OBH) domiciled outside the region, and to examine the application of the affirmative action principle in ensuring access to justice for the poor. This study uses a socio-legal method, which examines law not only as a norm, but also as a social practice occurring in society. The results show that collaboration with LBH/OBH from outside the region is a pragmatic solution to the lack of accredited legal aid institutions in Batu City, thus ensuring legal aid services remain accessible to the public. However, this practice raises legal issues due to disharmony between Regional Regulations and Mayoral Regulations that regulate domicile requirements for legal aid providers. In this context, the application of the affirmative action principle becomes relevant as an approach to addressing structural limitations and ensuring the fulfillment of substantive justice. This policy reflects a bias towards poor communities by providing broader access to legal services, despite administrative barriers. Therefore, it is necessary to harmonize regulations, strengthen institutions, and develop local LBH/OBH to create a more effective, inclusive, and sustainable legal aid system.

Abstract

This study examines the urgency of regulating and harmonizing the authority for the seizure and confiscation of notarial minutes in the Indonesian legal system. Minutes of deeds, as part of notarial protocol, have a special character as authentic evidence containing high evidentiary value, official confidentiality, and the legal interests of the parties. On the other hand, the need to enforce criminal law requires access to these documents, especially in the context of proving cases. This condition creates a gap between regulations in criminal procedure law and notarial law, especially regarding the authority of the Notary Honorary Council and the Chief Justice of the District Court. This study aims to analyze the philosophical, sociological, and juridical basis of these regulations, and formulate an appropriate form of harmonization to create legal certainty, justice, and benefit. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach, which examines various related legal norms and relevant legal doctrines. The results of the study indicate that the current regulations still cause partial disharmony, especially regarding the mechanism for confiscating original minutes of deeds, which has not been explicitly regulated. Therefore, normative harmonization is needed that places protection of deed minutes as a primary principle, while still allowing limited scope for seizure under exceptional circumstances. This harmonization must emphasize the functional relationship between the authority of the Notary Honorary Council as an ethical-professional filter and the Chief Justice of the District Court as a judicial supervisor, thus creating a balance between the protection of the notary's office and the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement
