Abstract

The development of labor law in Indonesia aims to achieve social justice by protecting workers’ rights. However, the reality of law enforcement reveals a juridical anomaly in which Industrial Relations Court decisions that have obtained permanent legal force (inkracht van gewijsde) are frequently not executed (non-executable). Consequently, workers’ normative rights, such as the right to severance pay and unpaid wages, remain unfulfilled. This study aims to analyze the root causes of such execution failures and to formulate effective institutional solutions. Utilizing a normative juridical research method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, this research examines the dependence of Law Number 2 of 2004 on the Civil Procedure Law—specifically the HIR/RBg—which is passive and formalistic in nature. The results indicate that execution failure is caused by the burden of asset proof being placed entirely on the worker. Furthermore, the absence of the court’s investigative authority to conduct asset tracing, along with judges’ weak application of Conservatory Attachment (Conservatoir Beslag) and Penalty Payments (Dwangsom), exacerbates the situation. Dependence on the archaic HIR/RBg procedures proves incompatible with the characteristics of labor disputes that demand speed. This is worsened by the dynamics of non-standard employment relationships in the gig economy, which are vulnerable to asset stripping. This study concludes that without procedural law reform, Industrial Relations Court decisions remain merely illusory judgments. Therefore, the establishment of a Special Execution Unit within the Industrial Relations Court, with autonomous authority to access integrated asset data, is recommended. Additionally, the issuance of regulations mandating the application of Dwangsom on an ex officio basis in every condemnatory (condemnatoir) decision is necessary to guarantee legal certainty and substantive justice for workers.

Abstract

The post-pandemic global tourism industry faces intensive recovery pressures. Work-life imbalance frequently triggers human resource retention crises, particularly in the hospitality sector, which demands 24-hour service excellence. These challenges are increasingly complex for resort hotels in remote tourism destinations that must operate with limited access to professional labor and extreme fluctuations in tourist visitation. This study aims to analyze the adaptation mechanisms of five Work-Life Balance (WLB) strategies—Alternating, Outsourcing, Bundling, Techflexing, and Simplifying—to overcome operational barriers and enhance employee productivity at Same Resort Bira Beach, South Sulawesi. Using a qualitative single-case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with management and operational staff. The results reveal significant anomalous findings. First, the use of communication technology (Techflexing) in an isolated environment does not trigger technostress but rather serves as a vital connectivity bridge providing spatial autonomy for employees. Second, integrating resort facilities into the incentive system (Bundling) successfully creates psychological harmonization between work and personal life (Resort-Life Integration). Third, Alternating and Outsourcing strategies are applied tactically as workload safety valves during peak seasons. Overall, this study concludes that in remote destinations, WLB transforms from a mere welfare policy into an effective business survival strategy for maintaining productivity, despite structural challenges posed by short-term target pressures. The study’s implications suggest an adaptive HR management model that leverages locational assets as key retention factors.

Abstract

Post-defense gift-giving practices in higher education have undergone a fundamental transformation. This practice has shifted from a mere emotional expression to a complex and dilemmatic sociological phenomenon. This study aims to critique the hegemony of digital trends and psychological pressure manifested as the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). Such pressure transforms the tradition of appreciation into a ritual of simulacra that obscures the essence of academic celebration. This research employs a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Its objective is to explore the intersubjective experiences of 11 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed in depth using a synthesis of critical theories by Baudrillard and Mauss. The research results successfully deconstruct three key findings. First, the fundamental motive for gift-giving has shifted from a drive of sincere affection to a strategic effort of self-construal under the control of social media algorithms. Second, the gift object is no longer valued for its utility but operates as a sign value. This reproduces social stratification and class hierarchy through the consumption of global brands. Third, the creation of a reciprocity paradox. The illusion of group solidarity is inherently mechanical and comes at a high cost: economic alienation and the pressure of a morally binding debt of gratitude. This study concludes that student social interaction has been co-opted by market logic. Therefore, there is an urgent need to strengthen symbolic and financial literacy to liberate students from the trap of consumerism disguised as social support. Additionally, a more substantial, inclusive, and humanizing redefinition of academic solidarity is required.

Abstract

Construction disputes in national strategic electricity projects often hinder cost and time efficiency. This problem is fundamentally rooted in pre-construction document uncertainty and the regulatory gap between national contracts and international standards. This research aims to analyze the juridical implications of incomplete Employer’s Requirements documents on claim validity. It also evaluates gaps in notification mechanisms and differences in work between SOE contract standards and the FIDIC Silver Book, and constructs a dispute-prevention harmonization model. The research method used is normative legal research, with statutory, comparative, and case approaches, applied to the Asahan 3 HEPP project. The results show that disputes in the execution phase are residues of errors in concept design in the pre-construction phase. This condition creates information asymmetry and injures the principle of good faith. Comparative analysis reveals significant gaps in variation and substantiation procedures. Bureaucratic rigidity in national contracts due to the disharmony between Law Number 2 of 2017 and the state finance regime hinders rapid resolution compared to the FIDIC early warning system. However, empirical evidence shows that SDB activation can effectively mitigate conflict escalation. The research concludes that the ideal harmonization model must transform the paradigm from dispute resolution to dispute prevention. This is achieved by integrating SDB institutionalization with the validity of BIM digital data as indisputable primary evidence. This step is necessary to guarantee legal certainty and the sustainability of national strategic projects.

Abstract

Disputes related to EoT in electricity EPC projects frequently escalate due to normative conflicts. This conflict arises between the time-bar clause in the FIDIC international contract standards, characterized by strict liability, and the principle of equity in Indonesian civil law. This research aims to analyze the validity of the time-bar clause in light of the principle of good faith, qualify the characteristics of excusable delay in concurrent delay situations, and reconstruct effective dispute-resolution mechanisms. The research method employed is a normative juridical approach, with comparative and empirical case study methods, applied to power plant projects. The results indicate that the application of claim rights forfeiture sanctions due to administrative notification delays possesses conditionally binding force. Such provisions can be set aside if the Service User is proven to have violated the prevention principle. Furthermore, in concurrent delay situations, national law mandates the proportional application of the apportionment principle. This research also finds that the Standing Dispute Board, as provided for in PUPR Ministerial Regulation Number 11 of 2021, is a more effective preventive instrument than arbitration for maintaining project cash flow liquidity. It is concluded that legal harmonization through teleological contract interpretation and the strengthening of Dispute Board executive regulations is imperative. The implications of these findings demand that stakeholders revise the Particular Conditions of contract to accommodate equitable administrative flexibility, ensuring legal certainty and the sustainability of national strategic infrastructure.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the systemic dysfunction of the Indonesian criminal justice system, characterized by case backlogs and overcrowding in correctional institutions. This condition prompted the adoption of the plea bargain mechanism in Article 78 of the New Criminal Procedure Code. However, the application of this special track potentially becomes trapped in procedural pragmatism that neglects the search for material truth and the essence of substantive justice. The objective of this study is to formulate the Meaningful Guilty Plea paradigm as a synchronization instrument between the procedural efficiency of Article 78 of the New Criminal Procedure Code and substantive justice values in the sentencing guidelines of Article 54 of the New Penal Code. The research method used is normative legal research, employing statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches through qualitative-prescriptive analysis. The results indicate that plea bargain formalism requires a rigid material foundation so that granting sentence reduction is not speculative-transactional in nature. The construction of the meaningful guilty plea paradigm requires examining the quality of the defendant’s statement, based on indicators of sincere remorse, moral responsibility, and commitment to victim recovery, to ensure sentencing proportionality. This synchronization enables a transition from a retributive pattern to a restorative-corrective model, as mandated by the New Penal Code. The conclusion asserts that procedural efficiency must be governed by active judicial control, achieved through the integration of sentencing guidelines to prevent judicial decision-making disparities. This study recommends the formulation of implementing regulations in the form of sentencing guidelines that integrate the plea-bargaining mechanism nationwide as a crucial implementation step following the recent enforcement of the new criminal law on January 2, 2026. Under this ideal model, the criminal justice system is expected to achieve sustainable harmony between the speed of processes and the quality of decisions that are substantively just for both the defendant and the victim.

Abstract

The fundamental transformation of national criminal law through the promulgation of the New Penal Code promotes a paradigm of substantive justice that triggers a normative dialectic regarding the existence of the formal legality principle of colonial legacy. This study aims to critically analyze the position of judicial pardon as an exceptional veiligheidsklep instrument to accommodate legal facts in specific murder offenses, while simultaneously assessing its effectiveness in maintaining the balance between legal certainty and human rights protection. The research method employed is normative legal research with statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches analyzed qualitatively using deductive logic and the legal dialectic method. The results indicate that the limitative restrictions of judicial pardon in Article 70 section (2) of the New Penal Code clash diametrically with the mandate of Article 53 section (2) of the Law, which obligates judges to prioritize substantive justice over formal legal certainty. These findings affirm that judicial pardon functions as a final filter post-operationalization of the primary filter, in the form of conventional grounds for excluding punishment, such as weer-exces and overmacht. Through the analysis of Decision Number 4/Pid.B/2024/PN Jnp, it is proven that exceptional judicial pardon in murder offenses with a low degree of culpability constitutes a judicial necessity to realize the objectives of restorative justice and the decolonization of national criminal law. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that judicial pardon is an instrument for salvaging human dignity and requires the support of accountable sentencing guidelines. Therefore, the Supreme Court is advised to immediately establish a Regulation regulating qualitative parameters for the application of pardon in grave offenses to avoid sentencing disparities and ensure the moral legitimacy of the law in the future Indonesian criminal justice system.

Abstract

This study examines the implications of Constitutional Court Decision Number 87/PUU-XXI/2023 on the authority of the KPK in handling connected corruption cases. Specifically, this study aims to analyze the material content drafting of the KPK Law post a quo decision, and to formulate recommendations for synchronization with the Criminal Procedure Code and the Military Court Law. This normative legal research uses a statute approach and a case approach, with legal interpretation, legal construction, and legal synchronization analysis techniques. The results show that a quo decision affirms the KPK’s authority to handle connected cases, as long as the case is handled or discovered by the KPK from the outset. The logical-juridical consequence of a quo Decision is the necessity to reconstruct the material content, especially Article 42 of the KPK Law. As formal criminal procedural law, exceptions to the applicability of the connectedness provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code and the Military Court Law also require adjustment. This synchronization is essential to realize legal certainty and the effectiveness of eradicating connected corruption.

Abstract

Construction disputes in Indonesia are often rooted in differences in the interpretation of contract clauses. This is reflected in the dispute between PT PLN (Persero) and PT XXX over the Kalimantan Steam Power Plant (2x5 MW) development project, regarding claims for an extension of time and additional cost compensation due to social access obstacles. This research aims to conduct a juridical analysis of problems in the interpretation of contract clauses. Additionally, this research constructs the legal basis for granting EoT and real cost compensation, and evaluates the effectiveness and executive power of the BANI Binding Opinion as an instrument of legal certainty. The research method used is normative juridical, through the statute and case approaches to the BANI Binding Opinion Number: XX/BO-BANI/2017 document, and the conceptual approach. The research results reveal that the interpretational deadlock was triggered by the parties’ failure to reach an agreement regarding the allocation of external obstacle risks beyond the contractor’s control. Therefore, BANI determined that a time extension and cost compensation should be granted using the actual implementation cost difference method, based on the principles of propriety and contractual justice, to restore the service provider’s economic position. It is concluded that the BANI Binding Opinion is a highly effective, efficient dispute resolution solution, and possesses stable executive power as regulated in Article 52 and Article 53 of Law Number 30 of 1999. This instrument provides the parties with final and binding legal certainty. This mechanism also mitigates the risk of project termination by registering the decision at the district court without going through an adversarial adjudication process.

Abstract

National electricity infrastructure development often triggers complex construction disputes due to the overlap between civil law and state administrative law. This research aims to analyze the parameters of the State Administrative Court’s absolute competence, identify the juridical characteristics of dispute objects, and formulate a legal protection framework for construction service providers. The research method utilized is normative legal research, with a statute-based and conceptual approach. Data were analyzed qualitatively through deductive reasoning on twenty authoritative secondary literature sources. The research results show that the absolute competence of the administrative judiciary is rigidly determined by the source of public authority (acta jure imperii) used by the government in its capacity as manager of the strategic energy sector. The characteristics of dispute objects in the electricity ecosystem have undergone significant expansion following the enactment of Law Number 30 of 2014. These objects now encompass factual actions such as change order instructions, location determination, and blacklist administrative sanctions. The analysis shows that state administrative officials’ decisions in the substation and power transmission licensing process constitute valid grounds for judicial review to prevent abuse of discretion. The research conclusion affirms that the legal reasoning pattern must emphasize legality review based on the General Principles of Good Administration. Optimizing the decision suspension instrument is also required as an emergency measure to protect business actors. More harmonious alignment between construction service law and administrative law is required to ensure legal certainty and the sustainability of national electricity infrastructure development.
