Abstract

This study aims to analyze the position of consumers' rights to departure information in the provision of air transportation services and to examine the legal responsibility of airlines for uncertainty of information that results in flight delays. The main problem lies in the discrepancy between normative regulations regarding the obligation to provide information and service practices in the field, particularly in the case of Batik Air passengers who experienced repeated schedule changes without adequate explanation. This study uses a normative juridical method with a legislative and conceptual approach, through analysis of relevant legislation, principles, and legal doctrines. The results of the study show that the right to departure information has a fundamental position in consumer protection law, administrative law in aviation law, and contractual law in air transportation agreements. Uncertainty in information that is conveyed in an unclear and inconsistent manner can be qualified as improper performance (breach of contract) and gives rise to legal liability for the airline. In conclusion, airlines are not only obliged to provide minimum administrative compensation, but are also required to ensure transparency, certainty, and accountability of information as an integral part of the quality of air transportation services.

Abstract

The phenomenon of sexual violence against children in Indonesia has reached a state of emergency, prompting the government to establish chemical castration sanctions through Law No. 17 of 2016 and Government Regulation No. 70 of 2020. However, this policy has sparked debate regarding the disharmony of norms with the sentencing system in the Criminal Code (KUHP) and ethical obstacles within the medical profession regarding its implementation. This study aims to analyze the legal standing of chemical castration from the perspective of Indonesian criminal law and identify the juridical obstacles hindering its effective implementation. The research method employed is normative juridical with a statutory approach (statute approach). Data were collected through literature studies of primary and secondary legal materials and subsequently analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate a legal ambiguity regarding the status of chemical castration, oscillating between a criminal penalty (straf) and a treatment measure (maatregel). Although Law No. 1 of 2023 (the New Criminal Code) adopts a corrective justice paradigm, synchronization of norms remains necessary to ensure the policy has a solid legal foundation. Primary implementation obstacles include the refusal of medical personnel based on professional ethics, limited facilities, and a lack of clarity in execution mechanisms. This study recommends an evaluation of technical regulations to guarantee legal certainty and maximum protection for children without disregarding human rights principles.

Abstract

The development of Islamic banking financing in Indonesia plays an important role in supporting the growth of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector. However, in practice, a phenomenon known as overcollateralization often occurs, where the value of collateral required exceeds the amount of financing provided to customers. This condition raises concerns regarding the balance of legal relations between Islamic financial institutions and customers, particularly MSME actors who generally have limited assets and relatively weaker bargaining positions. This study aims to analyze the legal regulation related to the practice of overcollateralization in sharia financing in Indonesia and to examine its legal implications for MSME customers from the perspective of Maqashid Sharia. The research uses a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches, supported by field data obtained through interviews with twelve MSME actors who have received financing from Islamic financial institutions. The findings indicate that regulations concerning collateral in sharia financing have been recognized in the Sharia Banking Law, the Civil Code, and the fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council. However, these regulations do not specifically regulate the proportionality between the value of collateral and the amount of financing. This situation creates room for overcollateralization practices which, although not explicitly unlawful, may potentially create an imbalance of risk for MSME customers. From the perspective of Maqashid Sharia, such practices may conflict with the objective of protecting wealth (ḥifẓ al-māl). Therefore, stronger regulations and more proportional financing policies are necessary to ensure fairness, balance, and benefit for all parties.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal protection for retail investors against the practice of liquidity exit carried out by controlling shareholders in the Initial Public Offering mechanism in Indonesia. The phenomenon of exit liquidity shows a shift in the function of IPO from business expansion to a means of transferring business risk from the old owner to the public, which often causes significant losses for retail investors due to information asymmetry and massive stock sales after the IPO. This study uses a normative juridical research method, although the current capital market regulations have provided procedural certainty, there is still a legal vacuum in limiting the volume of divestment of controlling shares after the IPO. This condition is exacerbated by the exchange's technical policies such as the closing of the broker's code on the JATS system in real time which hinders trading transparency. This study recommends the need for regulatory reform through the adoption of quantitative restrictions on the volume of stock sales as per the standard of SEC Rule 144 in the United States or UAE Federal Decree Law no. 32 of 2021 on Commercial Companies as well as the acceleration of the demutualization of the Indonesia Stock Exchange to ensure the integrity of the capital market.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is an affirmative action policy implemented by the government within the framework of a welfare state. Its purpose is to fulfill children's constitutional rights to nutrition, health, and protection, as guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This program aims to improve the quality of the workforce by providing nutritious food to students, toddlers, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. However, in 2025, during its implementation, several cases of mass poisoning occurred in several areas, causing thousands of students to experience health problems. These incidents have raised legal issues related to the application of the principle of responsibility, in determining the form and scope of government responsibility as a direct provider of public services. This research uses a normative legal approach with statutory, conceptual, and case studies methods. The legal materials analyzed include Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, Law Number 18 of 2012 concerning Food, Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, the Civil Code, and regulations governing food safety and the management of food safety products. This analysis examines the application of fault-based and absolute liability in situations where government action is taken. This research shows that the government cannot avoid responsibility simply by involving third parties, as MBG is a form of public authority. However, obstacles remain, including inconsistent regulations and a lack of clear compensation for affected individuals. Therefore, legal regulations need to be harmonized and improved to ensure legal certainty and adequate protection for children, the most vulnerable group

Abstract

As a means of disseminating information, Legal Documentation and Information Network provides convenience for the public to search for and access the full text of provisions of laws and regulations, such as laws, government regulations, presidential decrees, and regional regulations. However, in its implementation, the use of Legal Documentation and Information Network owned by each Regional Government cannot be optimally utilized by the society. Because there are still several official Legal Documentation and Information Network pages belonging to the Regional Government that cannot be accessed by the public. This research aims to determine the extent of the guidance and supervision function of the West Kalimantan Provincial Government regarding the accessibility of Legal Documentation and Information Network Districts/Cities in the West Kalimantan Province. This research is research with a juridical-normative method, with legal material sources consisting of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. The data collection technique used is primary data collection through interviews with informants and data sourced from each Legal Documentation and Information Network website of the Regency/City Government in West Kalimantan Province. The results of the study focused on the lack of support given to Legal Documentation and Information Network which has a strategic role in government that supports organizational performance and as a form of government presence providing access to information to the public through an electronic system that is easily accessible, fast and simple.

Abstract

Land plays an important role in supporting social welfare and economic development of the community. In Indonesian agrarian law, land must fulfill its social function so that it can benefit the wider community. However, in practice, there is still land that is not being used for its intended purpose and can be categorized as abandoned land, while on the other hand, vulnerable communities still experience limited access to land resources. This study aims to analyze the government's responsibility in guaranteeing access to land use for vulnerable communities as an effort to realize legal justice, as well as to compare the implementation of abandoned land use in the Administrative City of South Jakarta and the City of Semarang. This study uses a qualitative approach with a sociological juridical method that examines legal provisions and their implementation in society. Data was obtained through interviews with informants and literature studies related to land policy. The results of the study show that the state has a constitutional responsibility to guarantee community access to agrarian resources. However, the utilization of abandoned land as a means of empowering vulnerable communities in urban areas faces limitations due to limited land availability, high population density, and high economic value of land. Therefore, community empowerment is mostly carried out through other land policies such as land certification programs, asset legalization, and community economic empowerment programs. These findings indicate that land policies need to be adjusted to regional characteristics so that the goals of social justice and improved community welfare can still be achieved.

Abstract

Land rights transfer in Indonesia has historically been hampered by bureaucratic inefficiency and lengthy processing times. In response, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) has implemented an electronic land rights transfer system as part of broader e-government reform. This study evaluates the legal effectiveness of its implementation at the Batam City Land Office using an empirical legal research approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Land Office officials, Land Deed Officials (PPAT), and service users, and analyzed through Soerjono Soekanto's five-factor theory of legal effectiveness. The findings show that the electronic system has significantly reduced processing time from 14–30 working days to a maximum of 5 working days and improved data transparency. However, full effectiveness has not been achieved, as three factors remain suboptimal: uneven staff digital capacity, Batam's distinctive dual-authority land tenure structure requiring BP Batam approval prior to ATR/BPN processing, and partial public resistance to electronic certificates. Regulatory harmonization and inter-institutional integration are recommended to address these constraints.

Abstract

Although Indonesia has regulated provisions regarding assisted reproductive technology, there are no regulations that explicitly regulate the legality, mechanisms, or legal consequences of surrogacy. This condition creates legal uncertainty that has various implications for the protection of parties involved in the practice of surrogacy. This study aims to analyze the implications of the legal vacuum of surrogacy in Indonesia and examine the principles of altruistic surrogacy regulation in the Australian legal system to serve as a basis for constructing Indonesian national law. This study uses a doctrinal (normative) legal research method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results show that the legal vacuum of surrogacy in Indonesia has implications for weak legal protection for parties involved in the practice of surrogacy, including surrogate mothers, couples using surrogacy services, and surrogacy-related children. In addition, this study found that the regulation of altruistic surrogacy in the Australian legal system contains several important principles, such as the prohibition of commercial surrogacy, the principle of the best interests of the child, free and informed consent of the parties, state supervision, and certainty of the child's legal status.
