Keabsahan Dan Tanggung Jawab Hukum Atas Akta Jual Beli Dengan Pemalsuan Identitas Penghadap Dan Kuasa Yang Cacat Hukum (Studi Putusan Mahkamah Agung Ri Nomor 1979/K.Pdt/2016), Latifah Puspa Herwido

Indonesian Notary

Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah (PPAT) memiliki kewenangan membuat akta, salah satunya perbuatan hukum jual beli. Pada praktiknya, Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah seringkali lalai dalam hal pemeriksaan identitas penghadap yang datang kepada PPAT, seperti kasus yang terdapat dalam Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 1979/K.Pdt/2016, PPAT membuat Akta Jual Beli dengan dasar kuasa yang cacat hukum atau tidak berlaku untuk perbuatan hukum yang dicantumkan di dalam akta. Tidak hanya itu, penghadap yang datang ke PPAT bukan merupakan penghadap yang sebenarnya, terdapat unsur manipulasi atau pemalsuan. Akibatnya, permasalahan yang timbul dari putusan tersebut ialah keabsahan dari Akta Jual Beli yang dibuat berdasarkan kuasa yang …

Indonesian Notary

Notaris merupakan jawaban dari kebutuhan masyarakat akan suatu alat bukti yang kuat. Notaris sebagai pejabat umum mempunyai kewajiban, salah satunya membuat akta yang dikehendaki para pihak. Meskipun ketentuan mengenai notaris sudah diatur sedemikian rupa dalam standar profesi, dalam prakteknya masih ditemukan kasus pelanggaran atas kewajiban notaris. Terdapat suatu fenomena di mana seorang notaris menyerahkan sertipikat kepemilikan hak kepada pihak ketiga yang mana hal tersebut dilakukan tanpa sepengetahuan pemilik hak. Permalahan dalam tesis ini adalah mengenai tanggung jawab notaris kepada pemilik hak atas dokumen pertanahan yang diserahkan kepada pihak yang tidak berhak. Tanggung jawab tersebut dapat berupa tanggung jawab perdata, pidana …

Keabsahan Akta Pembagian Hak Bersama Atas Dasar Surat Keterangan Ahli Waris Yang Diregister Oleh Kepala Desa/Lurah Dan Camat Yang Palsu Atau Dipalsukan (Studi Kasus Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 688 K/Pid/2017), Nizar Satrio Wicaksono

Indonesian Notary

Surat keterangan waris merupaka salah satu syarat terbitnya akta pembagian hak bersama sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 111 ayat 1 huruf c angka 4, Peraturan Menteri Agraria Kepala Badan Pertanahan Nasional Nomor 3 Tahun 1997, sehingga keberadaannya merupakan hal yang penting. Namun demikian, bukan berarti Notaris/PPAT memiliki kekuasaan yang besar dalam pembuatan Surat Keterangan Waris tersebut, segala informasi yang ada dalam isi Surat Keterangan Waris harus didapatkan dari pihak-pihak yang ada dalam Surat Keterangan Waris tersebut, bukan secara serta merta Notaris /PPAT mengisi isi Surat Keterangan Waris sesuai dengan keinginannya dengan maksud suatu tujuan tertentu. Notaris/PPAT yang mengisi isi Surat Keterangan …

Consumer Psychology And The Problem Of Fine Print Fraud, Roseanna Sommers, Meirav Furth-Matzkin

Articles

This Article investigates consumers' beliefs about contracts that are formed as a result of fraud. Across four studies, we asked lay survey respondents to judge scenarios in which sellers use false representations to induce consumers to buy products or services. In each case, the false representations are directly contradicted by the written terms of the contract, which the consumers sign without reading. Our findings reveal that lay respondents, unlike legally trained respondents, believe that such agreements are consented to and will be enforced as written, despite the seller's material deception. Importantly, fine print discourages consumers from wanting to take legal …

Could The Rise Of Dockless Scooters Change Contract Law?, John Kendall

Mercer Law Review

Dockless scooters have been revolutionizing the way individuals in highly populated towns and cities commute on a day-to-day basis across the country. Instead of riding the bus, individuals now have the option to pay money to ride scooters short distances and save themselves the hassle of riding on crowded buses. Among the many issues and questions this creates for lawyers and lawmakers, one particularly noteworthy issue is whether the electronic waivers and arbitration clauses scooter companies require riders to sign before operating the scooters can shield the scooter companies from liability when the unexpected occurs. Currently, the top dockless scooter …

Considering Law And Macroeconomics, Anna Gelpern, Adam J. Levitin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The worst financial and economic crisis to hit the world’s richest economies since the Great Depression inspired a flood of scholarship that straddled the disciplines of law and macroeconomics. With few exceptions, this crisis scholarship did not set out to build a new interdisciplinary movement and did not claim the legacy of earlier efforts to mine the intersection of law and macroeconomics. What are we to make of this moment ten years on? Could Law and Macroeconomics (#LawMacro for short) be an important new turn in legal and economic thought, a casual interdisciplinary tryst on the margins of a hundred-year …

The Right To Access To Justice: Its Conceptual Architecture, Daniel Bonilla Maldonado

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

The aim of this article is descriptive and analytical, rather than normative. This article aims to contribute to the current understanding of the ways in which modern legal consciousness builds, and is built by, the concept of access to justice. This concept, as part of the web of meanings that structures modern legal culture, provides the context in which modern subjects make sense of who they are and how they should interact with the world around them. This article examines the subjectivities, conceptual geographies, and interpretations of history created by the right to access to justice. It also examines a …

Designing And Enforcing Preliminary Agreements, Albert H. Choi, George Triantis

Articles

Preliminary agreements—variously labeled as memoranda of understanding, letters of intent, term sheets, commitment letters, or agreements in principle—are common in complex business transactions. They document an incomplete set of terms that the parties have agreed upon, while anticipating further negotiation of the remaining provisions. They often create legal obligations, particularly a duty to negotiate in good faith. This duty has been the subject of a substantial number of judicial opinions over the past few decades and yet continues to be regarded as a confusing and unpredictable issue in contract law. Legal scholarship is hamstrung in its analysis of the case …

Antitrust Law, Freedom, And Human Development, Zephyr Teachout

Cardozo Law Review

For four decades, there was a near-universal consensus that consumer welfare was the sole and appropriate purpose of antitrust law. That consensus is breaking apart. For the first time in two generations, a growing group of scholars and policymakers is challenging that orthodoxy. They reject the consumer welfare consensus, and argue that antimonopoly policy should and can have much broader social goals, and serve democratic ends, not merely efficiency ones.

This group is unified by its shared protest, but lacks a shared positive platform. It does not itself have a consensus on what goals should replace the monotheistic approach of …

Contract Rights Under The I-864 Affidavit Of Support: Seventh Circuit's Reasoning Binds Courts' Hands In A Shifting Landscape For Public Charge Doctrine, John T. Burger

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Courts are currently split on the issue of whether a mitigation of damages defense is available to sponsors to the Affidavit. Leading cases, including Liu, rely upon the unique nature of the form to assert that such defenses are precluded. This Note will argue that the I-864 should be treated under the same principles as a typical common-law contract. Part I of this Note will trace the history of the I-864 form, primarily focusing on the legislation and case law rendering the form an enforceable contract. Part II will discuss Liu v. Mund, focusing extensively on the United States …

Why Choose Ltas? An Empirical Study Of Ohio Manufacturer’S Contractual Choices Through A Bargaining Lens, Juliet P. Kostritsky, Jessica Ice

Faculty Publications

This paper contributes to recent scholarship regarding Long Term Agreements (LTAs) by providing empirical evidence that suppliers are more likely to undertake the costs of an LTA if the transaction requires significant capital expenditures or the potential for large sunk costs. Through a survey of a random group of 63 Ohio supplier/manufacturers, the paper explores why supplier/manufacturers with a full range of contractual and non-contractual solutions might choose one set of arrangements over others. It then seeks to link its findings to a broader theory of how parties bargain to solve durable problems under conditions of uncertainty, sunk costs and …

Reframing Housing: Incorporating Public Law Principles Into Private Law, Kristen Barnes

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship

A new public-private law paradigm is developing with respect to the relationship of the state to private contracts. The paradigm melds private law concepts like unconscionability, good faith, and fair dealing with the public human rights principles of dignity and vulnerability. I trace this paradigm shift in the context of the housing law of Spain, where several rich cultural and legal resources have inspired a new sensibility with regard to residential mortgage loan contracts, rental agreements, and the overall duties and obligations of governments to address the citizenry's housing needs. Although this reorientation reflects decisions from the European Court of …

Inefficiency Of Specific Performance As A Contractual Remedy In Chinese Courts: An Empirical And Normative Analysis, Lei Chen, Larry A. Dimatteo

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article investigates the values and latent policies in the area of the availability of specific performance (SP) as a contractual remedy, which have shaped the development of Chinese law. The National People’s Congress (Legislature) and Supreme People’s Court in China have addressed the remedial structure of Chinese contract law, namely, the availability of the remedy of SP as opposed to the awarding of damages only. The law is clear that the remedies of SP and damages are ordinary remedies that a claimant is free to choose between. The question that this article confronts is whether in practice the equality …

Robo-Bureaucrat And The Administrative Separation Of Powers, Matthew Seipel

Cardozo Law Review de•novo

This Essay argues that the administrative state's use of artificial intelligence (AI) creates concentrated, unchecked power at the agency leadership level. The Essay draws from Professor Jon Michaels' theory of the administrative separation of powers, and it describes how AI in government disrupts this separation. To alleviate this concern, the Essay puts forward one modest proposal: Congress should amend federal public sector labor law to require collective bargaining over an agency’s decision to use AI.

Easy As Abc: Why The Abc Test Should Be Adopted As The Sole Test Of Employee–Independent Contractor Status, Eric Markovits

Cardozo Law Review de•novo

This Note examines the features and history of the three most commonly used tests for employee classification before advocating that the ABC test be more broadly adopted going forward.

Contractual Incapacity And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Sean M. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

The doctrine of contractual incapacity allows people with mental disabilities to avoid their contractual liability. Its underlying premise is that the law has an obligation to protect people with such disabilities both from themselves and from unscrupulous people who would take advantage of them; mental incapacity provides this protection by rendering certain contracts unenforceable. The Disability Rights Movement ("DRM"), however, has challenged such protective legal doctrines, as they rest on outmoded concepts about people with mental disabilities.

This essay argues that the mental incapacity doctrine undermines the goals of the DRM and the legislative goals of the Americans with Disabilities …

The Myth Of Optimal Expectation Damages, Theresa Arnold, Amanda Dixon, Madison Sherrill, Mitu Gulati

Marquette Law Review

A much-debated question in contract law scholarship is what the optimal measure of damages for breach should be. The casebook answer—drawing from the theory of efficient breach—is expectation damages. This standard answer, which was a major contribution of the law and economics field, has come under attack by theoreticians within that field itself. To shed an empirical perspective on the question, we look at data on the types of damages provisions parties contract for themselves in international debt contracts. Specifically, we examine issuer call provisions, which are economically equivalent to damages for prepayment, yet not viewed as legally problematic in …

A Commitment To The Whole Athlete: Embracing The Role Of Cannabinoids In Collegiate Athletics, Kelli Rodriguez Currie

Seattle University Law Review

Cannabinoids can be a highly effective way for athletes to combat various kinds of pain associated with intense training. Derivatives of cannabis, such as marijuana, have been used for centuries as a form of pain relief. Part I of this Article discusses how cannabinoids are used in sports medicine. Part II discusses the different approaches to marijuana and cannabidiol use across sports leagues. Part III highlights the inconsistencies between the NCAA’s approach to testing for substance abuse and its investment in student-athletes’ well-being. Part IV discusses how the NCAA must focus on student-athlete health. Finally, Part V concludes that the …
