Abstract

The notary public is a government official who bears a significant responsibility in the drafting and safekeeping of the original draft of an authentic deed. However, in practice, there are still notaries facing the loss or damage of such original drafts, which potentially undermines the integrity of legal evidence and the trust of the parties involved. This study employs a normative legal research method, utilizing an analytical approach with primary and secondary legal materials, focusing on statutory regulations. The research findings demonstrate that the Supervisory Council of Notaries carries a substantial responsibility in overseeing the issuance of replacement minutes to ensure that this process does not raise any legal uncertainties and continues to safeguard the document’s security. The comprehensive supervision by Supervisory Council of Notaries involves validating the authenticity of the copied document, assessing procedural propriety, issuing recommendations, and making administrative decisions. Furthermore, the status of the first copy used as a basis for issuing an authentic replacement minute holds an equivalent legal standing to the original minuta, contingent upon compliance with formal requirements stipulated in Article 1888 of the Civil Code (BW) and under stringent supervision by Supervisory Council of Notaries.

Abstract

This study examines the role of international and regional agreements in shaping Indonesia’s consumer protection framework in cross-border e-commerce, with particular reference to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It addresses three key issues: the extent to which such agreements influence normative legal development, how far these commitments are implemented domestically, and what gaps persist between legal harmonization and practical enforcement. Using a normative juridical (doctrinal) approach, the study analyzes Indonesian laws alongside regional instruments such as the ASEAN Agreement on E-Commerce, the findings indicate that ASEAN frameworks significantly contribute to regulatory alignment, promoting harmonization, cooperation, and the adoption of international best practices. However, this alignment remains largely formal. Substantial gaps persist in enforcement, particularly in relation to standard-form contracts, jurisdictional uncertainty, institutional limitations, and the underdevelopment of online dispute resolution mechanisms. The study concludes that effective consumer protection requires not only legal convergence but also stronger institutional capacity, clearer private international law rules, and integrated dispute resolution systems. Bridging the gap between normative commitments and practical implementation is essential for ensuring meaningful consumer protection in Indonesia’s evolving digital economy.

Abstract

This study critically examines the role of Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance within Indonesia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) framework. Employing a normative juridical approach, the research analyzes key regulatory instruments, including Law Number 8 of 2010, POJK Number 12/POJK.01/2017, and the institutional role of PPATK, alongside relevant legal doctrines and international standards, particularly those of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The study addresses three core issues: the structuring of KYC obligations within Indonesia’s legal framework, the implementation of KYC principles by financial institutions as part of risk management strategies, and the challenges encountered in practice. The findings demonstrate that KYC functions as a central legal and operational instrument, enabling customer identification, transaction monitoring, and reporting of suspicious activities, thereby reinforcing the banking sector’s role as a gatekeeper in preventing financial crimes. However, its effectiveness is constrained by data quality issues, technological limitations, uneven institutional capacity, and increasingly sophisticated laundering techniques. The study concludes that strengthening regulatory enforcement, enhancing technological adoption (including RegTech and AI), and improving inter-agency coordination are essential to optimize KYC effectiveness.

Abstract

The Board of Directors, as an organ of a limited liability company, holds full authority and responsibility in managing the company’s affairs. Nevertheless, in carrying out their duties, directors not infrequently commit unlawful acts that result in losses to the company as well as to third parties. This study aims to examine the concept of directors’ liability for losses suffered by a limited liability company caused by unlawful acts, the limits of such liability, and the available legal protection mechanisms. Employing a normative legal research method, this study finds that Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies explicitly regulates the principles of fiduciary duty and the business judgment rule as the basis for evaluating directors’ liability. Directors may be held personally liable if it is proven that their actions constitute unlawful acts carried out in bad faith or due to negligence. The principle of piercing the corporate veil serves as a legal instrument that enables the disregard of the company’s separate legal personality in order to impose direct liability upon the directors.

Abstract

This paper examines the current landscape of investor protection and legal enforcement in Indonesia, focusing on the rising prevalence of default cases and illegal investment schemes. As the Indonesian capital market expands, retail investors remain vulnerable to fraudulent financial products and contractual breaches. Using normative legal analysis combined with case studies of recent high-profile defaults, this research evaluates the effectiveness of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the existing regulatory framework in providing legal certainty. The findings suggest that although Indonesia has established comprehensive regulations, enforcement mechanisms remain inconsistent. Bureaucratic complexities and the absence of integrated digital monitoring often weaken implementation. The study also highlights challenges in asset recovery for victims of illegal investments, where legal proceedings frequently fail to restore financial losses. Strengthening investor protection requires more rigorous supervision, swifter judicial action, and greater public financial literacy to mitigate the impact of “shadow banking” and unauthorized investment entities.

Abstract

This study analyzes the legal relationship between force majeure and credit restructuring in Indonesia, particularly in addressing non-performing loans (NPLs) caused by natural disasters. It examines how force majeure is applied in credit agreements and how credit restructuring serves as a legal and financial mechanism to manage disaster-related credit distress. Using a doctrinal legal approach, the study reviews statutory provisions, banking regulations, and relevant literature, including Articles 1244 and 1245 of the Indonesian Civil Code and OJK Regulation No. 40/POJK.03/2019. The findings indicate that although Indonesian law recognizes natural disasters as potential force majeure events, their application in credit agreements is not automatic. Debtors must prove a direct causal link between the disaster and their inability to perform contractual obligations, which often leads to legal uncertainty and inconsistent interpretation. At the same time, credit restructuring, through rescheduling, reconditioning, and restructuring, provides a more practical response to financial distress. However, it operates separately from the force majeure doctrine, resulting in limited legal integration. The study also highlights that credit restructuring thus plays a dual role: supporting financial system stability and contributing to socio-economic recovery, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises.

Abstract

Employment relations often place workers in a weaker bargaining position, increasing the risk of violations of their rights by employers. The enactment of the Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja) has introduced greater labor flexibility while raising concerns about worker protection. This study analyzes the relevance of unlawful acts under Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code in employment relations following the enactment of the Job Creation Law, identifies forms of unlawful acts committed by employers, and examines legal remedies available to workers. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory and conceptual approaches, supported by legislation, legal doctrines, and scholarly literature. The findings indicate that Article 1365 of the Civil Code remains an important complementary mechanism when labor law remedies are inadequate. Employers may be held liable for violations of normative rights, misuse of fixed-term employment agreements and outsourcing, unlawful termination, workplace harassment, occupational safety breaches, and privacy violations. Workers may seek material and immaterial compensation through civil litigation. The study emphasizes stronger harmonization between labor and civil law to ensure more effective and comprehensive protection of workers’ rights.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital platform services has transformed transportation and food delivery transactions, creating new legal challenges regarding the allocation of responsibility among platform operators, consumers, and drivers. Through its Go-Food feature, Go-Jek enables consumers to purchase food while drivers initially bear the purchase costs, making them vulnerable to financial losses resulting from consumer-initiated order cancellations and fraudulent transactions. Despite the growing prevalence of such disputes, the legal protection available to platform-based drivers and the extent of platform liability remain insufficiently addressed within Indonesia’s regulatory framework. This study examines the corporate liability of PT Go-Jek Indonesia and evaluates the legal protection afforded to drivers under Indonesian law. Using a qualitative legal research design with a conceptual approach, the study analyzes primary legal materials, including the Civil Code, Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, and Law Number 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transportation, supported by relevant secondary sources. The findings indicate that fault-based liability under Articles 1365–1367 of the Civil Code provides a legal basis for holding PT Go-Jek Indonesia accountable when drivers incur losses beyond their control. Furthermore, contractual clauses that shift operational risks entirely to drivers are inconsistent with the principles of fairness and good faith. The study recommends strengthening platform governance through compensation mechanisms, enhanced transaction verification systems, and regulatory reforms that explicitly address digital platform transactions. These measures are expected to improve legal certainty, strengthen the protection of platform-based drivers, and promote greater trust in Indonesia’s digital economy.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia’s legal framework for trademark protection of MSMEs in the creative economy, its implementation in North Sumatra, and necessary policy improvements. Using a mixed-method design qualitative interviews and observations combined with a quantitative Likert-based survey of 204 MSMEs the research analyzes Law No. 20 of 2016 and Law No. 20 of 2008 as normative foundations. Findings show that while Indonesia provides a comprehensive framework, implementation remains weak. Empirical data reveal that 87.2% of MSMEs have not registered trademarks, 6.9% are registered, and 5.9% are in process. Barriers include low legal awareness, complex procedures, weak enforcement, institutional limitations, and technical issues in digital systems. MSMEs that registered trademarks acknowledge their importance for brand protection and market recognition. Strengthening trademark protection requires reforms such as simplified registration, enhanced legal education, institutional coordination, financial incentives, stronger enforcement, and optimized digital platforms.

Abstract

The enforcement of post-divorce child support rights remains a significant challenge in Indonesia. Despite legal provisions under Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, compliance with child support obligations remains low due to the absence of an effective enforcement mechanism. This study aims to analyze the weaknesses of Indonesia’s child support enforcement system, examine comparative practices in the United States, Singapore, Japan, and China, and formulate an enforcement model suitable for Indonesia. Using a normative-juridical approach combined with an international comparative method, the study evaluates child support systems through five analytical parameters: legal basis, implementing institutions, sanction mechanisms, information systems, and compliance levels. The findings reveal that effective enforcement systems consistently rely on specialized institutions, integrated information systems, and graduated sanctions. Based on these findings, this study proposes a Hybrid Child Support Enforcement Model supported by the Child Support Enforcement Agency (BPNA) and the Integrated Child Support Information System (SINAT) as its primary innovations. The model offers a practical framework for strengthening child rights protection and improving compliance with child support obligations in Indonesia.
