Abstract

Background. Due to serious concerns about illegal business practices in Indonesia's food manufacturing sector, the government passed Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection (UUPK). This law seeks to protect consumer rights and promote moral business practices, especially when it comes to food product marketing. Despite these regulations, violations still occur, often resulting in consumer harm. One such instance is illustrated by Criminal Case Number 747/Pid.B/2020/PN.Bgl, where the defendant was found guilty of selling expired food, highlighting the ongoing risks faced by consumers. This study investigates the legal mechanisms for resolving disputes between consumers and business actors, with a focus on the legal responsibilities of businesses that violate consumer protection laws.

The analysis is based on statutory regulations and case law, particularly Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code regarding unlawful acts. Findings. Selling expired food constitutes an unlawful act under Indonesian law and causes material and moral losses to consumers. Business actors are not only subject to criminal penalties but are also obligated to provide compensation for damages. Conclusion. Stronger enforcement of consumer protection laws and increased awareness among business actors are essential to prevent future violations. Legal remedies must be applied consistently to uphold justice and consumer rights.

Abstract

Background. The increasing number of cases involving advertising installation companies that neglect safety standards has raised significant legal concerns, particularly regarding consumer protection. The background of this study lies in the unlawful acts committed by such companies, which often result in physical, material, or psychological harm to the public. This research aimed to determine the extent of the responsibility of advertising companies in committing unlawful acts and analyze the legal liability for unlawful acts by advertising companies that result in consumer harm. Research Method. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. Legal materials were sourced from primary legal norms, such as the Indonesian Civil Code, especially Article 1365 and supported by secondary sources, including academic literature and expert interpretations. The analysis was conducted qualitatively by classifying legal principles, doctrines, and case examples. Findings. The findings indicate that unlawful acts, as defined in Article 1365 of the Civil Code, are interpreted broadly in Indonesia. These acts may include violations of others' rights, neglect of legal obligations, conduct contrary to public decency, and actions against societal norms of caution. Advertising companies that disregard structural safety, proper licensing, or installation procedures can be held civilly liable if their actions cause harm to others. Conclusions. Advertising installation companies bear full legal responsibility for any consumer harm resulting from their unlawful conduct. To ensure accountability, stronger regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms are needed to protect the rights and safety of the public.

Abstract

Background. Power and property have historically influenced how wealth, resources, and influence are distributed, with significant implications for social stratification and justice. Marxism views property, particularly the means of production, as a primary source of class-based domination, where the capitalist class (the bourgeoisie) exploits the working class (the proletariat), resulting in economic inequality and alienation. In contrast, Liberalism regards private property as a fundamental individual right that promotes freedom, innovation, and market efficiency, although it also acknowledges the risk of excessive power concentration without regulatory oversight. This study explores the contrasting perspectives of Marxism and Liberalism on the concepts of power and property, which are central to understanding political and economic structures in society. Research Methods. The research employs a normative qualitative method through literature review, examining primary and secondary sources, including classical and modern works of political economy. The methodology involves comparative textual analysis of Marxist and Liberal theories, alongside empirical case studies from various national contexts. Findings. Both perspectives offer valuable insights: Marxism highlights systemic inequality driven by capitalism and calls for collective ownership and state intervention. Liberalism emphasizes economic liberty and the protective role of private property, advocating for market-based solutions with minimal state interference. In practice, many countries adopt hybrid systems that integrate elements from both ideologies to balance growth with equity. Conclusion. A flexible, context-sensitive approach is necessary, one that balances economic freedoms with social justice through responsible regulation and equitable property policies.

Abstract

Background. Community involvement is very important in managing the environment to create a healthy living space. Health is not just about physical condition or a clean environment, but also about overall well-being. Everyone has the same rights and responsibilities in protecting the environment. Communities often work with NGOs to deal with pollution and environmental damage. Research Methods. This Research uses a legal study approach by looking at laws and regulations related to community roles in environmental protection. It also explores how people and NGOs solve environmental problems through mediation instead of going to court. Findings. The study found that while people and NGOs prefer using mediation to solve environmental disputes, there are problems with legal certainty. This makes the mediation results unclear or hard to enforce. Conclusion. To fix this, a mediation process that is officially recognized by the court is needed. This will help provide clear legal outcomes and fairness for everyone involved.
