Abstract

This study aims to analyze consumer legal protection against Pertamax fuel This study examines the legal accountability of business actors and the losses suffered by consumers in the Pertamax fuel counterfeiting case at Gas Station 34.151.39 in Tangerang City. The research aims to analyze the extent of consumer protection, the legal responsibilities arising from the distribution of counterfeit fuel, and the violation of good faith principles in business practices. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were obtained through in-depth interviews with consumers and relevant stakeholders, field observations, and analysis of regulatory documents and supervisory reports. The study applies Philipus M. Hadjon’s Legal Protection Theory, covering preventive, repressive, and remedial mechanisms. The findings reveal that fuel adulteration—such as mixing lower-grade fuel with coloring substances to resemble Pertamax—results in significant financial and technical losses, including engine damage and reduced vehicle performance. Legal protection remains ineffective due to weak supervision and limited enforcement against business actors. The gas station operator is legally obligated, under Article 19 of the Consumer Protection Act, to provide compensation through refunds, product replacement, or other statutory remedies. The study concludes that strengthening monitoring, imposing strict sanctions, and enhancing consumer awareness are essential to ensuring effective legal protection and safeguarding consumer rights in fuel distribution.

Abstract

The application of good governance principles is a crucial prerequisite for creating effective, accountable, and public interest-oriented governance. State power, on the other hand, plays a strategic role in determining the extent to which public policies can be implemented to achieve public welfare. This study aims to analyze the synergistic relationship between the concept of good governance and state power within the framework of social welfare development in Indonesia. Using a normative-juridical and conceptual approach, this study examines the principles of good governance as stipulated in various national and international legal instruments, and analyzes the role of state power in realizing a welfare state. The results of the study indicate that the relationship between good governance and state power is complementary, not contradictory. A strong state without good governance has the potential to give rise to authoritarianism, while good governance without the support of effective state power will lose the power to implement policies. Therefore, public welfare can only be achieved through a balance between state authority and good governance principles such as transparency, accountability, participation, and the rule of law. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening state institutional capacity while instilling good governance values ​​as the foundation for equitable and sustainable national development.

Abstract

Termination of employment of workers under Fixed-Term Employment Agreements (PKWT) remains a significant issue, particularly when employers terminate contracts verbally and without adhering to legal procedures, creating uncertainty and neglect of workers’ rights. This study identifies two problems: the form of legal protection granted to PKWT workers who are terminated early, and judicial considerations in resolving such disputes as reflected in Decisions Number 20/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2024/PN Sby and 927 K/Pdt.Sus-PHI/2024. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, the research analyzes labor regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant court judgments. The findings show that PKWT workers terminated before the contract’s expiration are entitled to compensation and damages under Article 62 of the Manpower Act and Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021. Verbal termination is deemed procedurally defective because it omits mandatory written notification. Both the first-instance court and the Supreme Court held that the employer lacked a lawful basis for termination and consequently must provide full compensation. These decisions reinforce legal certainty and highlight that employers may not end PKWT contracts unilaterally without legitimate grounds and proper procedures. The study concludes that strong legal protection is essential to prevent arbitrary termination and ensure the fulfillment of workers’ rights.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the concept of public participation within Jürgen Habermas’s deliberative democracy framework by focusing on three fundamental rights: the right to be heard, the right to be considered, and the right to be given an explanation. These rights are examined as an integrated deliberative process that links the lifeworld, the public sphere, and the political system. Using a qualitative method with a theoretical approach, this study relies on an extensive literature review to interpret Habermasian deliberative democracy and to explain how citizens’ voices obtain normative legitimacy in democratic decision-making. The findings indicate that the right to be heard highlights the importance of acknowledging citizens’ lived experiences as a moral foundation for public policy. The right to be considered emphasizes the need for an inclusive, domination-free public sphere in which arguments are assessed on equal terms. Meanwhile, the right to be given an explanation underscores the political system’s responsibility to respond to public opinion communicatively rather than merely through formal procedures. The analysis concludes that public participation becomes substantively meaningful only when grounded in communicative rationality and protected from system colonization. Therefore, political legitimacy in modern democracy should not rest solely on procedural compliance but on rational dialogue formed between citizens and the state within a deliberative public sphere.
