Settlement of Breach of Contract in Cooperation and Capital Between Harsana and CV. Aasmaa Tradexindo

Puteri Syahmita — 2025-12-31

Breach of contract (wanprestasi) refers to the debtor’s negligence, resulting in the failure to fulfill obligations agreed upon in a contract. If one party fails to perform actions that are neither their rights nor obligations under the agreement, such negligence may lead to a lawsuit in court. This study addresses two research questions: 1) Why does a breach of contract occur in the implementation of the cooperation and capital agreement between Harsanah and CV. Aasmaa Tradexindo, based on Decision No. 979/Pdt.G/2022/PN.Jkt.Sel? 2) What are the legal considerations made by the panel of judges in deciding the case regarding the cooperation and capital agreement between Harsanah and CV. Aasmaa Tradexindo, based on Decision No. 979/Pdt.G/2022/PN.Jkt.Sel? The analysis uses a normative juridical approach with qualitative data collection based on a case study of Decision No. 979/Pdt.G/2022/PN.Jkt.Sel. The results of the study show that the Defendant’s failure was due to an inability to fulfill the obligations agreed upon in the written contract. The dispute was initially attempted to be resolved through negotiation, but due to the lack of an agreement, it proceeded to the civil court. In this case, the judge ruled that a breach of contract had occurred and upheld part of the Plaintiff’s claims, particularly regarding material compensation. However, the judge rejected the request for immaterial damages amounting to IDR 5,000,000,000 and a fine (dwangsom) due to insufficient evidence.

The Importance of Scientific Crime Investigation (SCI) in Solving Murder Cases in Indonesia

Serlina Wulandari — 2025-12-31

Criminal law in Indonesia grants law enforcement authorities the power to address violations, including the crime of murder. However, handling murder cases often faces challenges, particularly in terms of evidence and identifying the perpetrators. Technological advancements have driven the development of Scientific Crime Investigation (SCI) as a scientific approach that replaces conventional investigation methods by integrating various scientific disciplines to provide more accurate evidence. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of SCI in the investigation process and its alignment with applicable regulations. The research method employed is a normative juridical approach, referring to relevant laws and legal literature. The analysis results indicate that in Decision Number 39/Pid/2024/PT.YYK, the appellate panel of judges modified the death sentence previously imposed on the defendants in Decision Number 634/Pid.B/2023/PN.Smn to a life imprisonment sentence. This ruling suggests that the panel of judges did not adhere to Supreme Court Circular Number 05 of 1973, which regulates sentencing based on the gravity and nature of the crime.

Legal Protection for Consumers Who Lose Assets on Crypto Exchange Platforms in Indonesia: A Case Study of Hacking and Rug Pull

Dominic Imanuel Vidianto — 2025-12-31

This study analyzes legal protection for consumers who experience asset loss on crypto exchange platforms in Indonesia, focusing on two main issues: hacking and rug pull practices. The study examines existing regulations, such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) and the Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK), and reviews two specific cases: hacking of the Indodax platform and rug pull of the ASIX token. The research method used is normative juridical, with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that although these regulations exist, the implementation of legal protection remains weak, particularly in terms of security system supervision and the accountability mechanisms of platform providers. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening cybersecurity standards and applying stricter accountability principles by crypto platform providers. There is also a need for synchronization between existing regulations and increased consumer digital literacy to minimize risks arising from illegal practices in this sector.

The Urgency of Legal Protection for Victims of Harassment Sexuality in The University Environment

Widhy Andrian Pratama — 2025-12-31

Survey data indicate that women with higher levels of education tend to experience sexual abuse more frequently than women with lower educational attainment. Numerous women have reported incidents of sexual abuse within educational environments, including students, academic staff, and teachers. Many students encounter sexual abuse during their period of study in higher education institutions, which can have adverse effects on their mental and physical health as well as their academic performance. Previous studies also demonstrate that a significant number of female students experience sexual abuse before completing their education. This study adopts a data-driven approach through a library research method. Data were collected by reviewing relevant documents, including academic journals, books, scholarly articles, and other credible sources. In addition, information obtained from print and electronic media related to the topic was used as supporting data. The study concludes that sexual harassment occurring within campuses or colleges represents only a small part of a much larger problem, often described as the “tip of the iceberg.” Reported cases reflect only a limited portion of the total incidents of sexual abuse, while many others remain unreported and hidden. In general, there are indications that certain individuals misuse power within educational institutions, whereby authority and positional dominance are exercised arbitrarily, particularly against students.

Comparative Analysis of Indonesia and China on the Copyright Protection Law for Computer Software

Wiwin Widianingsih — 2025-12-31

This study examines the copyright regulations on computer software in Indonesia and China, focusing on their alignment with international standards such as the TRIPs Agreement, Berne Convention, and WIPO Copyright Treaty. Using a normative legal research method with a comparative law approach, the analysis identifies key similarities and differences in definitions, rights granted, duration of protection, enforcement mechanisms, and sanctions. Findings show that China has advantages in providing specific regulations, clearer definitions, longer protection periods, and proactive enforcement mechanisms, while Indonesia stands out in the application of performance rights and stronger criminal sanctions. However, both countries still face significant challenges: Indonesia’s absence of specific regulations and reliance on a complaint-based enforcement system, and China’s relatively weak criminal penalties. The study concludes that adopting best practices from each jurisdiction could significantly enhance the effectiveness of copyright protection for computer software, especially in addressing high rates of software piracy. This analysis contributes to the discourse on intellectual property law reform in the digital era by providing policy recommendations for stronger, more comprehensive legal frameworks.
