Abstract

Civil law is doctrinally positioned as a neutral legal domain governing private relations among legal subjects. In practice, however, the formation and application of civil law are inseparable from political, economic, and institutional power relations. Legislative interventions, state policies, and judicial decisions demonstrate that civil law operates as an instrument of legal policy through which public interests are articulated and enforced within private legal relations. This article examines the political dimension of civil law and its juridical implications for private autonomy in the Indonesian legal system. Employing normative legal research with statute, conceptual, and case approaches, the study identifies normative ambiguity in positive law concerning the limits of state power over private relations, the legitimacy of using civil law as a policy tool, and the criteria for restricting private autonomy on public interest grounds. The analysis shows that such ambiguity undermines legal certainty, reduces autonomy of will, and creates the risk of unaccountable state intervention. This article argues for a normative reconstruction that treats private autonomy as a conditional principle subject to proportionate, transparent, and accountable state intervention, in order to balance individual protection with public objectives within civil law.

Abstract

Classical civil law is fundamentally grounded in the doctrine of private autonomy, which positions individual free will as the primary source of legal obligations. However, the evolution of the welfare state, the expansion of regulatory governance, and the increasing protection of public interests have significantly altered this paradigm. In Indonesia, this transformation has produced normative ambiguity regarding the boundary between freedom of contract and state regulatory authority, particularly due to inconsistencies between the Civil Code and sectoral regulatory statutes. This article employs normative legal research using statute, conceptual, and case approaches to examine the shifting relationship between private autonomy and state regulation in civil law. The analysis demonstrates that unstructured regulatory intervention risks undermining legal certainty and diluting the normative core of civil law, while absolutist private autonomy is no longer tenable in a modern regulatory state. This article argues for a reconstruction of civil law based on conditional private autonomy, supported by proportionality and accountability principles, in order to balance private interests and public objectives in a constitutionally coherent manner.

Abstract

Civil law is traditionally grounded in the assumption of formal equality among legal subjects, presuming that private autonomy and freedom of contract operate under conditions of equivalent bargaining power. In unequal societies, however, civil law relations are frequently shaped by structural disparities in economic resources, access to information, and social position. This article examines the normative foundations of civil law protection in the context of social inequality and questions the adequacy of formal equality as a basis for justice in private legal relations. Using normative juridical research with statute, conceptual, and case approaches, this study identifies normative ambiguity in civil law regarding the criteria for legally relevant inequality, the limits of restricting freedom of contract, and the consistency of legal protection across private relations. The analysis demonstrates that such ambiguity weakens legal certainty and renders civil law protection fragmented and ineffective. This article argues for a normative reconstruction of civil law protection grounded in substantive justice, treating private autonomy as a conditional principle and positioning civil law as a constitutional instrument for correcting structural inequality.

Abstract

Modern market governance is no longer shaped solely by free market mechanisms but increasingly relies on state intervention through legally institutionalized economic policies. In this context, civil law—particularly through contracts, property rights, and civil liability—has become a strategic instrument for directing market behavior. This development generates normative ambiguity in positive law concerning the boundary between civil law as private law and as a tool of market governance, the legitimacy of using private law instruments to implement economic policy, and the relationship between freedom of contract and public interest–based economic regulation. Employing normative legal research with statute, conceptual, and case approaches, this article examines the role of civil law in market governance and the juridical implications of state intervention through private law instruments. The analysis demonstrates that unstructured instrumentalization of civil law undermines legal certainty and private autonomy while obscuring the limits of state power. This article argues for a normative reconstruction that positions civil law as a limited instrument of economic policy, grounded in conditional private autonomy, proportionality, and accountability, in order to balance economic efficiency, legal certainty, and social justice within market regulation.

Abstract

Civil law is normatively constructed on the assumption of formal equality among legal subjects. In social reality, however, civil law relations frequently operate within conditions of structural inequality arising from disparities in economic power, access to information, and bargaining position. The state responds to such inequalities through regulatory interventions framed as legal protection. This article examines the role of civil law in addressing social inequality from a legal protection politics perspective. Employing normative legal research with statute, conceptual, and case approaches, this study identifies normative ambiguity in civil law concerning the criteria for identifying protected weak parties, the boundary between legal protection and restrictions on private autonomy, and inconsistencies between the Civil Code and social-economic protection legislation. The findings demonstrate that such ambiguity renders civil law protection selective and often ineffective in correcting social inequality. This article argues for a normative reconstruction that positions civil law as a constitutional instrument for correcting social inequality, treating private autonomy as a conditional principle subject to substantive and distributive justice considerations.
