Toward A Private Law Of Intimates' Obligations, Emily J. Stolzenberg

Faculty Publications

When former cohabitants ask courts to distribute property at the end of a nonmarital relationship, they usually lose—even when the partners were as economically intertwined as spouses. Family law scholars have traditionally criticized these cases in terms of longstanding gendered ideas about family relationships. This Article proposes a complementary account at the intersection of feminist and private law theory: that the law of voluntary obligations is not adequately developed to protect intimates’ cooperation. Although marital status law aims to safeguard thick cooperation between spouses and contract law captures a range of more market-based cooperation, for historically contingent reasons, little doctrine …

When Law Watches Democracy Die: The Legal Farce Of Venezuela's 2024 Election And The Paralysis Of International Law Enforcement And Unity, Madeline Covington

International Law Journal

The 2024 Venezuelan presidential election illustrates how authoritarian regimes can undermine democracy while preserving the appearance of constitutional governance. This Article examines the historical and legal developments that culminated in the contested election, analyzes violations of Venezuela's domestic electoral framework and international legal obligations, and evaluates the international response, including sanctions, diplomatic pressure, and multilateral action. It argues that Venezuela exposes a fundamental weakness in international law: although global institutions strongly endorse democratic governance, they lack effective enforcement mechanisms to respond to electoral authoritarianism. The Article concludes by proposing institutional reforms to strengthen international accountability and protect democratic integrity.

Universal Jurisdiction And The Principle Of Subsidiarity, Michael P. Scharf, Elise Manchester, Pilar Sofia Corso

International Law Journal

In an effort to render universal jurisdiction more palatable, in recent years States have applied the so-called subsidiarity principle. Under this principle, States exercising universal jurisdiction defer prosecution of international crimes to a State which has a stronger connection to the case, normally the State where the crimes were committed or the State of nationality of the accused, provided one of those States is able and willing to pursue the case. Through a study of the statutes and caselaw of States applying universal jurisdiction, this Article seeks to discern whether subsidiarity is merely a non-binding political concept, an emerging (or …

Perpetual Statehood Among Rising Tides: The Case Of Tuvalu And The Future Of Statehood, Sovereignty, And Maritime Bounds In The Face Of Unprecedented Climate Crisis, Caroline Crawford

International Law Journal

As climate change threatens the physical existence of low-lying island nations, the question of whether a country can retain statehood without territory becomes increasingly urgent. Tuvalu, facing potential submersion by 2050, has amended its constitution to declare perpetual statehood, challenging traditional international legal definitions that link sovereignty to physical territory. This Article examines the legal implications of Tuvalu’s declaration and explores whether current frameworks, including the Montevideo Convention, selfgovernance, the presumption of continuity, the Lotus principle, and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (“UNCLOS”), can accommodate such a claim. It advocates for legal innovations such as …

Lex Patrimonium

This research examines the civil liability of a parent company for unlawful acts committed by its subsidiary within a corporate group structure in Indonesia, with particular emphasis on the application of the single economic entity and piercing the corporate veil doctrines.

Ganti Rugi Immateriil Dalam Wanprestasi Di Antara Kepastian Hukum Dan Keadilan (Putusan Nomor 183/Pdt.G/2023/Pn Smg Dan Nomor 629/Pdt.G/2020/Pn Jkt.Sel), Martha Elisa Novianti Tambunan, Abdul Salam

Lex Patrimonium

Although Article 1243 of the Civil Code limits compensation for breach of contract to material damages, judicial practice reveals a disparity in addressing immaterial damage claims. This study analyzes judicial considerations in the Semarang District Court (housing dispute) and South Jakarta District Court (bag business dispute) decisions using Economic Analysis of Law and Gustav Radbruch’s Legal Philosophy. The results indicate a rational Functional Dualism. The Semarang Court adopted a progressive stance by granting the claim for substantive Justice, justified by the Radbruch Formula to correct injustice regarding basic human needs. Conversely, the South Jakarta Court adopted a positivistic stance by …

Disparitas Putusan Hakim Dalam Menentukan Keabsahan Klausul Non-Kompetisi Pada Perjanjian Kerahasiaan (Studi Kasus Gugatan Wanprestasi Terhadap Eks Pekerja Pt Foom Lab Global), Winda Octaviani Fadilah, Togi M.P. Pangaribuan

Lex Patrimonium

This study analyzes the validity of Non-Competition Clauses in Non-Disclosure Agreements through judicial disparities in cases involving former PT Foom Lab Global employees. The normative framework is built upon Articles 1320, 1337, and 1338 of the Indonesian Civil Code, freedom of work laws, and trade secret protection. The study distinguishes standard confidentiality obligations from Non-Competition Clauses, which require strict validity testing due to their restrictive nature on workers' rights. First-instance findings reveal conflicting reasoning: Decision No. 168 voided the clause based on freedom of work, whereas Decisions No. 155 and No. 666 upheld it based on freedom of contract and …

Standar Ganti Rugi Materil Dalam Kasus Perbuatan Melawan Hukum Pada Hewan Di Indonesia Berdasarkan Kasus Blackout Pln Pada Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Nomor 09/Pdt.G.S/2019/Pn Jkt Slt, Nathania Debora Siagian, Rosa Agustina

Lex Patrimonium

This study examines the standard of material compensation for pet deaths due to unlawful acts in Indonesian law, using a case study of District Court Decision No. 09/PDT.G.S/2019/PN JKT Sel, which rejected a claim for the death of four koi fish due to a power outage by PLN. Through doctrinal legal research with case and comparative law approaches, this study finds that Indonesian law still categorizes animals as movable objects, limiting compensation to provable economic loss, without considering emotional value. The court ruled that the power outage was not an unlawful act due to lack of fault, thus limiting PLN’s …

Lex Patrimonium

The legal status of children born out of wedlock constitutes a significant issue in Indonesian family law.

Lex Patrimonium

The Board of Directors, as a corporate organ, holds full authority and responsibility for

the management and administration of the company’s business activities, including the

management of corporate finances; therefore, every policy decision taken may give rise

to legal consequences if it causes losses to the company or other parties. Corporate law

recognizes the Business Judgment Rule as a form of legal protection for Directors with

respect to business decisions made in good faith, with due care, and based on adequate

information; however, this principle is not absolute and cannot be invoked to justify

unlawful conduct. This research aims to …

Penguasaan Tanpa Dasar Hak Atas Bangunan Milik Orang Lain Sebagai Bentuk Perbuatan Melawan Hukum (Studi Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 651 K/Pdt/2020), Helena Ginting, Abdul Salam

This article aims to analyze the legal standing of down payment sale agreements in relation to the transfer of rights over land and buildings, the status of possession following the nullification of the agreement, and the legal qualification …

Lex Patrimonium

This study examines whether PT Adhi Persada Properti (PT APP) qualifies as a good-faith purchaser under a Land Sale and Purchase Binding Agreement (Perjanjian Pengikatan Jual Beli/PPJB) and is therefore entitled to legal protection in a dispute culminating in Indonesian Supreme Court Decision No. 524 B/Pdt.Sus-Arbt/2024. The study employs a normative juridical method, applying statutory, conceptual/doctrinal, and case-based approaches through an analysis of BANI Surabaya Arbitration Award No. 64/ARB/BANI-SBY/II/2023, Bekasi District Court Decision No. 531/Pdt.Sus-Arb/2023/PN Bks, and Supreme Court Decision No. 524 B/Pdt.Sus-Arbt/2024. The study finds that a PPJB establishes an obligational relationship; accordingly, PT APP is positioned as a …
