tions afforded to justice collaborators in Indonesia through a doctrinal analysis of the Supreme Court Decision No. 1704 K/PID.SUS/2022, commonly known as the Richard Eliezer verdict. The objective is to critically examine the adequacy and application of legal safeguards provided to individuals who cooperate with law enforcement while implicated in serious crimes. Employing normative legal research methods and a statutory and case approach, the paper reveals discrepancies in the implementation of protections for justice collaborators. While the Indonesian Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) offers procedural protections, this analysis identifies significant gaps in enforcement, judicial interpretation, and institutional coordination. The findings underscore a need for stronger legislative frameworks and consistent judicial standards to uphold the rights and safety of justice collaborators. The implications extend to criminal law reform and the balancing of retributive justice with restorative mechanisms. This study contributes to the legal discourse on human rights protections in criminal procedure, particularly concerning vulnerable individuals assisting the justice system under duress or threat.
Abstract:The Indonesian capital market plays a pivotal role in mobilising long-term financing for corporations and providing investment opportunities to the public. However, persistent stock fraud cases undermine market integrity…
and investor confidence. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing legal framework for investor protection against stock fraud, analyse its practical implementation, and recommend measures to strengthen both preventive and repressive mechanisms. Employing a normative legal research design with a qualitative approach, the study integrates statute, conceptual, and case approaches, focusing on Law No. 8 of 1995 on Capital Markets, OJK regulations, the Criminal Code, and notable cases such as PT Hanson International Tbk. The findings reveal that while the legal framework normatively aligns with the Legal Protection Theory, Justice Theory, and Legal Effectiveness Theory, substantial gaps remain between regulation and enforcement. Weak supervisory coordination, delayed intervention, lengthy judicial processes, and low investor legal literacy reduce effectiveness. Recommended reforms include adopting regtech and suptech, enhancing cross-agency data integration, implementing AI-based surveillance, establishing a specialised capital market court, and strengthening investor education. The study concludes that combining regulatory improvements, adaptive enforcement, and public legal empowerment is essential to safeguard investors, maintain market integrity, and promote sustainable economic growth.
Abstract:This study analyzes the judicial reasoning behind Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Sidoarjo No. 199/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Sda, a landmark decision involving corporate criminal liability for environmental violations in Indonesia. The…
case centers on PT Surya Prima Semesta’s illegal disposal of hazardous waste (fly ash and bottom ash) without an environmental permit, resulting in the prosecution of its corporate director. Employing a normative juridical method, the research examines the court’s application of doctrines such as strict liability and identification theory within the framework of Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management. The findings show that the court adopted a formalistic, text-based legal reasoning model, treating permit violations as inherently punishable acts regardless of actual environmental harm. While the decision reinforces regulatory compliance and affirms corporate culpability, it lacks engagement with broader organizational responsibility and foundational environmental law principles like the precautionary principle and sustainability. This study argues for a more integrated doctrinal approach one that balances rule-based logic with value-oriented reasoning to enhance legal consistency, advance environmental justice, and align Indonesia’s corporate accountability framework with international standards.

Abstract:Reformasi sistem peradilan pidana menjadi fokus krusial dalam menghadapi dinamika perkembangan di era digital. Tulisan ini merinci tantangan utama yang dihadapi dalam upaya mereformasi sistem peradilan pidana dan mengulas…
s prospek perubahan di era digital. Tantangan utama mencakup resistensi internal dari dalam sistem, ketidakpastian politik, keterbatasan finansial, dan ketidaksetaraan akses. Resistensi internal mencakup perlawanan dari pihak yang terbiasa dengan praktik lama, menyoroti perlunya meraih dukungan aktif dan pemahaman dari pemangku kepentingan utama. Ketidakpastian politik menjadi faktor kritis yang mempengaruhi konsistensi dan kesinambungan reformasi, menekankan pentingnya komitmen politik yang stabil. Prospek reformasi di era digital membawa harapan melalui penerapan teknologi dan kecerdasan buatan. Sistem e-filing dan e-court menjanjikan efisiensi dan aksesibilitas yang lebih baik, meminimalkan proses manual dan mempercepat penyelesaian perkara. Penggunaan kecerdasan buatan dalam pengambilan keputusan membawa potensi untuk mengurangi bias dan meningkatkan objektivitas dalam putusan peradilan. Implementasi teknologi ini harus diimbangi dengan kehati-hatian terhadap aspek keamanan data dan privasi. Reformasi sistem peradilan pidana di era digital menuntut pendekatan holistik. Diperlukan upaya bersama antara lembaga peradilan, pemerintah, dan masyarakat untuk mengatasi tantangan dan memaksimalkan potensi positif dari perubahan ini. Kesuksesan reformasi sistem peradilan pidana di era digital dapat menciptakan lingkungan hukum yang lebih adil, efisien, dan sesuai dengan tuntutan masyarakat yang berkembang.

Abstract:This study examines the effectiveness of regulations preventing child marriage in the city of Surabaya after the enactment of Law No. 16 of 2019, which raised the minimum age for marriage to 19 years, but still allows for…
r marriage dispensations through Article 7 paragraph (2). This normative loophole raises academic questions about how the law works in social reality and how preventive measures can be institutionalized. This study aims to assess the implementation of regional policies, particularly Perwali No. 32 of 2024, and to examine the practices of religious courts in deciding on marriage dispensations using Lawrence M. Friedman's Legal System Theory and the principle of Sadd al-Dzarīʿah as analytical tools. Empirical research methods were used through interviews, observations, documentation, and qualitative analysis of two cases of marriage dispensation that were rejected and granted. The results of the study show that the significant decrease in the number of marriage dispensations in Surabaya occurred due to the synergy of the legal structure (Religious Court, DP3APPKB, Ministry of Religious Affairs, RT/RW), legal substance through the Perwali which tightened procedures, and changes in the legal culture of society. The courts applied new standards that are more protective and based on maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah , making marriage dispensations an emergency mechanism rather than a legalization of child marriage. This study provides theoretical implications in the form of an integrative model between maqāṣid and the modern legal system, as well as practical implications in the form of recommendations to replicate the Surabaya model in other regions in an effort to protect children.
Abstract:The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal responsibility of banks towards customers in cases of personal data leaks, examine the extent of legal protection provided to customers, and describe efforts that can be…
made to minimize the risk of data leaks. This study uses a literature study method by collecting and analyzing various legal sources, such as laws and regulations, court decisions, journals, and literature related to data protection in the banking sector. The results of the study indicate that banks have legal responsibilities based on the Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) and banking provisions to maintain the confidentiality of customer data. If a data leak occurs, the bank can be subject to administrative, civil, or even criminal sanctions depending on the level of negligence. In addition, this study found that customers have the right to claim compensation if the data leak causes material or immaterial losses. However, the effectiveness of law enforcement still faces challenges, such as lack of customer awareness and complexity of evidence. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, improve cybersecurity systems by banks, and educate customers to mitigate the risk of data leaks. The implications of this study are expected to provide recommendations for regulators and banking industry players in strengthening the protection of customer personal data.
Abstract:The legal provisions governing the marriage contract according to the Republic of Indonesia Law No. 1 of 1974 and the Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015 can be carried out after marriage, because the meaning…
ing of Article 29 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law is interpreted as long as the parties are bound. The agreement of both parties can submit a written agreement that is accepted by the contract drafter or notary. The Judge's opinion that the relevant application is stated in the Applicant's Marriage Agreement and the legal issues are also acceptable. The legal analysis of the permissibility of the marriage contract arises from the perspective of the law of the contract that the legal provisions of the marriage contract also bind third parties, so that the marriage contract must be registered with the Civil Service Secretariat or the Ministry of Religion. Because the MK decision as it is does not mean anything about registration, whether registration must be carried out immediately or wait for further registration/registration laws. Therefore, the legal consequences of a marriage contract can create legal guarantees for others.
