    YURISDIKSI Jurnal Wacana Hukum dan Sains This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License Universitas Merdeka Surabaya Legal Protection of Our Guarantee Object Owners After Low Limit Value Fatimah Zahra1, Habib Adjie2 Faculty of Law, Narotama University Surabaya E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT writing of this journal aims to be able to know, analyze and understand about legal protection to the owner of the collateral object for the implementation of the auction with a low limit value. The legal analysis in this journal is focused on being able to find out the protection and legal remedies that can be carried out by the debtor or the owner of the collateral object if the determination of the results of the auction is conducted with a limit value too low than the market value so that it can be used as consideration in analyzing that there is an act against the law . Based on the research it can be seen that the low limit value can be one of the elements of the cancellation of the auction because of consideration of the actions that have been regulated by the legislation that can cause losses, errors, if it is done in accordance with the seller so that it can cause harm to other party. The injured party is the debtor or the owner of the collateral object. Therefore, the determination of auction results below the limit value can be one of the reasons for canceling the auction so that it can protect the owner of the collateral object from loss.

  • The Year of Living Foolishly: an Examination of Some Odd Decisions of the Initial Year of Indonesia’S Commercial Court
    The Year of Living Foolishly: An Examination of Some Odd Decisions of the Initial Year of Indonesia’s Commercial Court Bruce A. Markell* Introduction Before 1998, Indonesian corporate and personal insolvency law was governed largely by a 1905 Bankruptcy Ordinance (“Ordinance”) as well as certain provisions in the Civil Code.1[1] Both acts dated from the Dutch colonial period. With 278 Articles, the Ordinance was until 1998 the main insolvency legislation in Indonesia.2[2] When the Ordinance first came into force in 1906, the Dutch-administered colonial system based on legal pluralism still prevailed. Under that system, certain regulations applied only to specific population groups based on ethnic lines. At the commencement of its operation, the Ordinance only applied to Europeans and did not apply to indigenous Indonesians or foreign nationals such as the Chinese. In 1924, the application of the Ordinance was extended to Chinese and other foreign nationals; by the 1980s, the old distinctions based on population groups had been generally discarded and the Ordinance, for all practical purposes, applied to all individuals and corporations in Indonesia.3[3] On April 22, 1998 Indonesia issued a new regulation on insolvency procedures - the Bankruptcy Regulation (“Regulation”).4[4] The Regulation was promulgated in the form of a Government Regulation Substituting A Law (Peraturan Pemerintab Pengganti Undang-undang, or perpu). It substantially amended the Ordinance, including the establishment of a Commercial Court (Pengadilan Niaga) devoted exclusively to bankruptcy matters.. *Doris S. and Theodore B.

    Tanoto Foundation Mendukung Pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals di Indonesia Singapura, 5 November 2015 – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) merupakan bentuk penyempurnaan dari Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) yang sudah mencapai tahap akhir di tahun 2015. Dalam pidatonya di hadapan Sidang Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-bangsa bulan September lalu, Wakil Presiden Republik Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla menyampaikan pentingnya keterlibatan berbagai pihak termasuk masyarakat melalui kegiatan filantrofi dalam mendukung pencapaian SDGs. Indonesia telah sukses mencapai beberapa indikator kunci MDGs, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan pengentasan kemiskinan, pendidikan, peningkatan kesetaraan, dan lingkungan hidup. Meskipun demikian, masih diperlukan upaya yang lebih keras untuk mencapai indikator MDGs yang lain seperti tingkat kematian bayi dan ibu hamil, prevalensi kasus HIV/AIDS, akses terhadap air bersih di pedesaan dan tingkat melek internet di Indonesia. Dalam diskusi panel yang digelar Tanoto Foundation dan Nanyang Technological University (NTU) di Singapura, Douglas Broderick, United Nations Resident Coordinator menyatakan, “Kita harus bisa mengukur kemajuan SDGs dari waktu ke waktu. Untuk itu diperlukan data mulai dari tingkat nasional hingga desa, agar capaian dan tantangan SDGs bisa diukur di semua tingkatan.” Dr. Ali Said, M.A, Kepala Sub Direktorat Indikator Statistik dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), menambahkan bahwa indikator statistik untuk memantau capaian SDGs belum sepenuhnya tersedia.

  • President's Report
    PRESIDENT’S REPORT ON PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES NOVEMBER 2014 - NOVEMBER 2015 The United States – Indonesia Society November Board Meeting November 14, 2015 Dear USINDO Trustees and Advisors, As we approach 2016, we appear to be on the cusp of greater opportunities for USINDO to contribute to our mission of strengthening bilateral relations than any time in the last two decades. Recognizing our role as the sole NGO working exclusively on fostering a deep-rooted US-Indonesia bilateral relationship, and our bi-national and impartial character, the two governments now appear interested in working in cooperation with USINDO in both countries to facilitate widespread civil society participation in mutually agreed aspects of the new U.S. Indonesia Strategic Partnership. Thus, rather than work primarily in a parallel track with governments, we now may be able, along with other suitable groups, to work interactively with governments so that together we can bring about the best mutually reinforcing and coordinated results. It is too soon to say what specific forms this may take, but there is an exciting prospect for USINDO to play an even more effective role. As concerns the present, USINDO finishes 2015 having produced the cutting-edge information and education programs promoting U.S.-Indonesia understanding you expect of us. They are described in the following report. Key events included our December Conference on the Jokowi Administration, our September Gala Dinner with Foreign Minister Marsudi, and our October co-sponsored dinner honoring President Jokowi. Our renowned and frequent Open Forums in both countries continued to provide our audiences high quality information about policies and issues in each country.
