Abstract

In Indonesia, the Commission for the Supervision of Business Competition or Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) is granted the power according to Law Number 5 of 1999 but such a power cannot be optimally implemented. KPPU often experiences difficulties and obstacles in the process of enforcing business competition law due to a large number of business actors and uncooperative witnesses so that this hinders the process of examining cases. In particular, KPPU has lack of cooperation of involved parties during the inspection process. However, the KPPU in carrying out its authority can include the role of the Indonesian police to assist in the process of enforcing business competition law. This paper shows that the role of the Indonesian police in the enforcement of business competition law can be initiated during the investigation process if the KPPU requests assistance to present the reported party, witnesses, and expert witnesses. Until the decision is issued by the KPPU, investigators can follow up with relevant individuals that may have cases that contain criminal aspects.

Abstract

The iddah period is a waiting period that applies to a woman whose marriage is broken legally through a divorce or physically through the death of a husband. Any woman who has not had a prior marriage must observe the iddah period. As one of the legal conditions of marriage, failure to complete the iddah period can result in the cancellation of any secondary marriages. In this study, judges release a verdict in accordance with the laws and legislation of Indonesia, namely Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and a compilation of Islamic law found in Al-Qur'an and Hadith. This article uses legal research based on positive laws including judicial decision. This study concluded that if a marriage is prohibited for a failure to satisfy the condition of iddah, that marriage must be canceled. This article employs statute and conceptual approaches to legal research, as well as case study methodology, with the aim of departing from the views and doctrines that develop in law in order to build a legal argument that addresses legal issues. Analyzing the Decision of the Mojokerto Religious Court Number 1365/Pdt.G/2014/PA.Mr, this study argues that prospective spouses are responsible for awareness of their prospective partners’ marriage eligibility and fulfillment of all requirements, material and formal, clearly stipulated in state and religious law. Keywords: Iddah, Islamic Law, Marriage Cancellation

Abstract

The Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) principle is one of international consensuses, especially for countries registered as members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The principle is related to investment and international trade within the framework of economic liberalization. At its core, the MFN principle ensures equitable treatment of all parties economically active within a country. Recently, in Indonesia, the Over Top company conducted business activities without paying taxes to the government. The case of the Over Top company highlights an unfair business situation in Indonesia, enabled by the Indonesian government through a poorly established monitoring system and codification of laws. This study argues that the absence of taxation, regulation, and fraud laws for the Over Top Companies in Indonesia, and the Indonesian government is responsible for the enforcement and maintenance of tax laws and the MFN principle for all entities conducting business in the state. Keywords: MFN Principle, Over Top Companies, Investment in Indonesia.

Abstract

In today’s age, marriage life is can be complicated with problems like infertility. In the face of this problem, couples have used surrogacy as a potential fix. Surrogacy poses a unique problem in Indonesia, because such a concept remains culturally taboo and no legal system exists to regulate the process and the responsibilities of the surrogate mother. Thus, other countries that have created a legal infrastructure for surrogacy offer valuable paradigms and best practices. This study seeks to compare surrogacy law between Indonesia and India, with the overall goal of suggesting policies to better regulate surrogacy within the former country. This study uses comparative legal research methodology through the functional method because Indonesia and India face the same social problem of surrogacy. The result reveals that it needs a legal system on surrogacy and surrogate mother as the legal certainty for any individual especially spouse who could not have offspring along with some reasons such as minimalize prostitution and unregistered marriage, prevent dispute, and to develop scientific field. The study concludes that Indonesia requires stronger legal infrastructure for surrogacy that will not only provide legal certainty for surrogate mothers and families using surrogacy but will also minimize prostitution and unregistered marriages, mitigate domestic disputes, and catalyze scientific innovation. Keywords: Surrogate Mother, Surrogacy, Indonesia, India.

Abstract

Defamation through Electronic Media as regulated in Article 27 paragraph (3) of Law No. 19 of 2016 on amendments to Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions does not explain in detail the elements of "insulting content and/or defamation;” therefore, the understanding of this term is subjective to the victim. Article 27 also includes the phrase "no rights," suggesting that victims' legal rights in response to defamation are limited. Even so, the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (ITE Law - Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik) itself does not provide a detailed explanation of these elements. The results found in this study are an objective criteria to assess whether electronic information or electronic documents which can be qualified as defaming. This study argues that defamation occurs if: (a) information or documents are built based on the clarity of the insulted person's identity; (b) the purpose of words is deemed insulting; (c) defamation is addressed to natural person or legal person (d) the content and context of each case, and (e) the allegations. In addition, a person is said to have the right to commit criminal defamation if carried out in the public interest and by being forced to defend himself.

Abstract

One way a business actor strengthens their business is through cooperation with other business actors. One form of cooperation is a "merger" or another term, "merging." Mergers carried out by business actors can result in monopolistic practices or unfair business competition. A merger of competition aspects is regulated in Article 28 and 29 of Law No. 5 of 1999 on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition which provides regulation regarding post-notification of mergers. Commission Regulation No. 1 of 2009 on Pre-Notification of Mergers, Consolidations, and Acquisitions gives a different arrangement, namely in the form of pre-notification to business actors. This difference in notification arrangements provides ineffectiveness and inefficiency for business actors. Keywords: Post-Notification, Mergers, Unfair Business Competition.

Abstract

The citizen law suit is one of the effective alternatives for the environmental law enforcement. The citizen lawsuit in environmental disputes has been regulated in the PPLH Law specifically Article 91 paragraph (1) and the Chief Justice of the Indonesian Supreme Court Number 36/KMA/SK/II/2013 concerning the Implementation of Guidelines for Handling Environmental Cases. However, there are no specific rules governing citizen lawsuits in Indonesia because it’s not widely known in the Indonesian legal system. This paper argues that there are three main constraints to the practice of citizen lawsuits in environmental cases, namely: (1) the absence of legal rules that specifically regulate citizen lawsuits, especially the reading mechanism; (2) lack of understanding of law enforcement officials (especially judges) regarding citizen lawsuits; and (3) lack of environmental-certified judges in Indonesia, especially in regions. Keywords: Citizen Lawsuit, Environment, Government.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the Constitutional Court is the sole interpreter and guardian of the constitution and the decision made by this Court is expected to meet a sense of justice, utility, and legal certainty. This paper argues that there is a contradiction between two decisions ruled by the Court resulted in inconsistent constitutional interpretations. Such inconsistency can be referred to the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 072-073/PUU-II/2004 declaring the Constitutional Court to have the power to adjudicate disputes over the results of regional head elections, while on the other hand, the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 97/PUU-XI/2013 ruled this institution no longer to adjudicate disputes over the results of regional head elections by revoking Article 236C of the revised Regional Government Act No. 12/2008. In doing so, this paper analyzes the impact of such contradictory decisions on uncertainty in the legal dispute regarding regional head election results. This paper concludes that such inconsistency was caused by the application of two different approaches: the first decision applied judicial activism and the latter considered judicial restraint. Keywords: Constitutional Interpretation, Judicial Restraint, Judicial Activism.

Abstract

Norms are behavioral guidelines in the Indonesian legal state. Norms continue to exist in the legislation and juridical consequences of constitutional court decisions, and in particular, that of the Constitutional Court. Legal norms have principles that are applied to a wider hierarchy of legal norms and the production of legislation. In essence, the Constitutional Court's rulings have consequences on the actions of the government and therefore the action of governance. Including decision norms in the Constitutional Court's ruling has juridical consequences for the hierarchy of regulations and state legal actions in carrying out the function of government. This article aims to find out how to apply decision norms if there an identical or related decision exists within a different judicial institution. In government institutions bound by the Constitutional Court's decisions, application of decision norms resulted in chaos for the application and enforcement of the law. The implementing agency is faced with the same legal product, namely a verdict in another judicial institution. This causes no legal certainty. Rather than a solution or outcome, implementing agencies are faced with an identical legal response yet no legal certainty. The absence of legal certainty has consequences for government institutions that are bound by the Constitutional Court's decision. By utilizing a hierarchy of legal norms, the issue of rigidity and uncertainty caused by decision norms can be resolved. Likewise, in the legislature, the Constitutional Court's decision is the source of making legal norms. As the Constitutional Court’s decision is the source of legal norm production in the legislature, espousing a hierarchy of legal norms will enable laws and regulations that are formed to reflect justice, certainty and benefit. Keywords: Court Decision, Legal Norms, Government.

Abstract

Modern technology is developing rapidly. One branch of industrial technology that is particularly popular at the moment is artificial intelligence (AI) that facilitates society's daily life. On smartphones, artificial intelligence can be found in map applications, personal assistants, shopping websites, and various other applications. Saudi Arabia granted an AI-based robot named Sophia citizenship, and the Shibuya Mirai robot was granted a residence permit by Japan. AI-based technology is used every day and has become a common thing in various parts of the world; however, in Indonesia, legal regulations regarding AI do not yet exist. As a result, a legal vacuum has emerged. When a loss occurs, responsibility can be borne by various parties ranging from consumers, producers, third parties (such as robot trainers or shipping couriers) to the robot itself. Which party will be determined responsible depends upon how a country positions AI. If Indonesia follows in Saudi Arabia's footsteps, then the responsibility will be borne by the AI robot as a citizen. The robot will have the right to sue and be sued, to get the same position before the law, including other rights and obligations, enjoyed by human citizens. Artificial intelligence law-making is a very complicated process and will involve many parties. How Indonesia positions AI is very crucial, particularly in the event of harm or danger caused by AI systems. Various frameworks and concepts can be used, ranging from equating artificial intelligence to living beings, such as humans, pets, or ordinary products to creating entirely new concepts for a legal framework regulating AI-based systems. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Responsibility, AI Law.
