Keabsahan Sertipikat Pengganti Sebagai Dasar Pembuatan Akta Hibah (Studi Kasus Nomor 64/Pdt.G/2018/Pn.Kdi), Ulfa Amalyah Usman
Indonesian Notary
Penelitian ini membahas mengenai sertipikat pengganti sebagai dasar pembuatan akta hibah, yang mana diketahui bahwa permasalahan sertipikat pengganti dimasyarakat bukanlah hal baru. Sertipikat pengganti terjadi apabila sertipikat asli sebelumnya dinyatakan hilang oleh pemilik, maka pihak Kantor Pertanahan setempat pun akan menerbitkan sertipikat pengganti tersebut dengan adanya pengajuan permintaan sertipikat pengganti dan dinyatakan di bawah sumpah oleh pemilik sertipikat tersebut, atau pihak lain yang diberikannya kuasa. Permasalahan pun muncul kemudian ketika terdapat sertipikat ganda terhadap objek yang sama. Dengan adanya dua kepemilikan ini terhadap objek yang sama, tentunya akan menimbulkan permasalahan baru apabila salah satu pihak melakukan perbuatan hukum atas dasar …

Kewenangan Pejabat Sementara Notaris Yang Membuat Akta Pertanahan Tidak Dalam Kewenangannya Sebagai Ppat, Winny Kartika Tantri
Indonesian Notary
Pejabat sementara Notaris seharusnya berwenang untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan- pekerjaan yang ditinggalkan oleh Notaris yang meninggal dunia. Hal ini disebabkan
karena Notaris yang meninggal dunia masih meninggalkan pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang belum selesai. Meskipun dalam menjalankan jabatan terdapat Notaris yang merangkap jabatan sebagai PPAT, namun dirinya memiliki dua protokol yang berbeda yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya. Protokol tersebut yaitu protokol Notaris dengan protokol PPAT. Terdapat 2 (dua) permasalahan dalam penelitian ini yaitu batasan antara kewenangan pejabat sementara Notaris dengan kewenangan PPAT dan tanggung jawab pejabat sementara Notaris dalam membuat akta PPAT terhadap akta pertanahan yang dibuatnya. Metode penelitian yuridis normatif, tipologi penelitian deskriptif, jenis …
Keabsahan Surat Pernyataan Hibah Untuk Salah Satu Ahli Waris Tanpa Persetujuan Ahli Waris Lainnya, Dhea Nada Safa Prayitno
Keabsahan Surat Pernyataan Hibah Untuk Salah Satu Ahli Waris Tanpa Persetujuan Ahli Waris Lainnya, Dhea Nada Safa Prayitno
Indonesian Notary
Surat pernyataan hibah yang dibuat di bawah tangan dianggap belum memenuhi unsur pembuktian dari perbuatan hukum hibah. Hal ini dikarenakan dalam Pasal 37 ayat (1) PP Pendaftaran Tanah mengatur bahwa peralihan hak atas tanah melalui hibah hanya dapat didaftarkan apabila dapat dibuktikan dengan akta yang dibuat oleh PPAT. Pemberian hibah yang dilakukan kepada salah satu ahli waris pada saat penghibah sakit terhadap seluruh harta penghibah perlu persetujuan ahli waris lainnya sebagaimana tercantum dalam Pasal 726 KHES. Hal ini dikarenakan dengan diberikannya seluruh harta penghibah tanpa mempedulikan keberadaan ahli waris menjadikan bagian waris terlanggar. Ditambah lagi jika pemberian hibah hanya didasarkan …

Indonesian Notary
Penelitian ini membahas mengenai pemilik objek yang tidak mengetahui, tidak pernah menghadap PPAT dan tidak pernah menandatangani akta jual beli terkait, tetapi dalam akta, pemilik objek dimaksud namanya dicatut sebagai penjual dan hak atas tanahnya dijadikan objek jual beli.

Adapun permasalahan yang diangkat dalam penelitian ini adalah mengenai akibat hukum dari pembuatan akta yang cacat hukum oleh PPAT serta tanggung jawab PPAT dalam pembuatan akta yang cacat hukum tersebut.

Implikasi Pembuatan Akta Jual Beli Tanah Yang Objeknya Merupakan Objek Sita Jaminan Terhadap Pendaftaran Peralihan Hak Atas Tanah (Berdasarkan Putusan Mahkamah Agung No. 3260 K/Pdt/2018), Yustisia Aviyanti
Indonesian Notary
Artikel ini menganalisis mengenai jual beli tanah objek sita jaminan yang belum terdaftar di Kantor Pertanahan. Hal ini mengakibatkan tanah tersebut beralih kepada pihak ketiga dan diterbitkan sertipikat peralihan haknya. Konsekuensinya, pihak yang dirugikan mengajukan gugatan hukum sehingga jual belinya dinyatakan batal berdasarkan Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Makassar No. 32/Pdt.G/2017/PN.Mks jo. Putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Makassar No. 142/PDT/2018/PT.MKS jo. Putusan Mahkamah Agung Mahkamah No. 3260 K/PDT/2018 yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap.

Indonesian Notary
Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah selaku Pejabat Umum yang berwenang sebagai perpanjangan tangan Badan Pertanahan Nasional tidak jarang bertindak lalai dalam menjalankan jabatannya.

Bullock V. United States Bureau Of Land Mgmt., Henry O'Brien
Public Land & Resources Law Review
A Montana District Court ruled that William Perry Pendley unlawfully served as the Director of BLM for 424 days and cast doubt on the legality of many BLM decisions made during that period. The ruling took a stronger stand against the Trump administration’s liberal and brash use of acting appointees than other, similar cases have.
Peyote Crisis Confronting Modern Indigenous Peoples: The Declining Peyote Population And A Demand For Conservation, James D. Muneta
Peyote Crisis Confronting Modern Indigenous Peoples: The Declining Peyote Population And A Demand For Conservation, James D. Muneta
American Indian Law Journal
Once abundant, the wild growing peyote cactus plants in Texas and Mexico are being drastically reduced and becoming scarce. Peyote, a slow growing cactus contains the hallucinogenic drug mescaline, is a sacred sacrament used in the Native Americans Church (NAC). It is also used religiously by various Indian tribes throughout the country of Mexico. Although peyote is classified as a controlled substance under federal and state laws, U.S. Congress granted NAC members a “peyote exemption” pursuant to the American Indian Religious Freedom Act to legally use peyote for religious purposes. In U.S. v. Boyll, the federal district court interpreted the …

Asarco Llc V. Atlantic Richfield Co., Llc, Taylor A. Simpson
Public Land & Resources Law Review
In 2009, Asarco reached a settlement agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency for the arsenic-contaminated East Helena lead smelting facility. As part of the settlement, Asarco was responsible for $111.4 million in cleanup and remediation expenses. Following this payment, Asarco brought a contribution claim under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act against Atlantic Richfield. Finally, in 2020, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that Asarco’s remediation expenses of $111.4 million were not eligible for contribution because the costs were not fully incurred. The Ninth Circuit stated that only incurred or concrete, non-speculative future costs can be eligible …
Responsible Energy Storage For A Renewable Electrical Grid, Matt Longacre
Responsible Energy Storage For A Renewable Electrical Grid, Matt Longacre
Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental, & Innovation Law
The United States economy, its national security, and even the health and safety of its citizens depend on reliably available electricity. Electricity is largely available through the grid – more than 9,200 generating units, capable of generating more than one terawatt of electricity, connected to more than 600,000 miles of wire. The grid extends to nearly everything: from charging cellphones to cellphone towers, from light emitting diodes to street lights, and from parking meters to electric cars; the grid has become ubiquitous.
The current grid infrastructure has been valued at two trillion dollars, but much of it is aging to …
Proposed Federal Osha Standards For Wildfire Smoke, Keenan Layton
Proposed Federal Osha Standards For Wildfire Smoke, Keenan Layton
Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental, & Innovation Law
With the rise of global temperatures, climatologists predict a corresponding increase in the frequency and severity of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest. Rising temperatures are expected to create drier conditions in forests, thereby creating environmental conditions more prone to forest fires. Wildfires have become a common enough occurrence in the Pacific Northwest that summers have become synonymous with smoky conditions, but the issue is not constrained to this region. Though the Pacific Northwest has recently acted as a harbinger of increasing wildfires, environmental scientists forecast an increase in fire risk throughout the Western United States. The predicted rise in forest …
The Impact Of Cultural Heritage On Japanese Towns And Villages, Yuichiro Tsuji Dr.
The Impact Of Cultural Heritage On Japanese Towns And Villages, Yuichiro Tsuji Dr.
Seattle Journal of Technology, Environmental, & Innovation Law
In 1954, when historically significant clays and clay pots were found in the Iba district of Shizuoka prefecture, the city applied to the prefectural education committee for a historic site designation. The committee granted this designation to the city..
However, in 1973 the education committee lifted its permission to promote development around the location. Historians have sought revocation of this decision under the Administrative Case Litigation Act (ACLA), but the Supreme Court has denied standing. By denying standing, the Japanese Supreme Court allows the prefecture to destroy a historical site.
First, this paper seeks to discuss the doctrine of standing …

Toxic Bones: The Burdens Of Discovering Human Remains In West Virginia's Abandoned And Unmarked Graves, J. William St. Clair, Robert Deal
West Virginia Law Review Online
This article pulls up and highlights a land use restriction, or financial burden, imposed upon West Virginia private real estate owners who inadvertently uncover human skeletal remains in unmarked graves on their property. In this state, those coming across human bones that historians and archaeologists eventually deem have no historical or archeological significance have a choice—pay the costs to have the bones removed and reinterred or cover the bones and use the property only as a cemetery in perpetuity. This burden becomes more acute when comparing West Virginia’s law to those of other states that require government officials, at public …
A Case For Zoning, Christopher Serkin
A Case For Zoning, Christopher Serkin
Notre Dame Law Review
Due to a remarkable convergence of criticisms from both the right and the left, zoning is under more sustained attack than at any time in the last seventy-five years. A consensus is building that zoning is what ails America. Simultaneously, the traditional justifications for zoning, like separating incompatible uses, have become increasingly anachronistic in an age of mixed-use development and a desire for vibrant, dynamic places. This Article offers an updated defense of zoning, and in particular density regulations. Today, local governments deploy zoning not primarily to keep industry (or apartment buildings) out of residential neighborhoods, but to preserve community …
The Wicked Problem Of Zoning, Christopher Serkin
The Wicked Problem Of Zoning, Christopher Serkin
Vanderbilt Law Review
Zoning is the quintessential wicked problem. Professors Rittel and Webber, writing in the 1970s, identified as “wicked” those problems that technocratic expertise cannot necessarily solve. Wicked problems arise when the very definition of the problem is contested and outcomes are not measured by “right and wrong” but rather by messier contests between winners and losers. This accurately characterizes the state of zoning and land use today.
Zoning is under vigorous and sustained attack from all sides. Conservatives have long decried regulatory interference with private development rights.More recently, progressive housing advocates have begun to criticize zoning for making thriving cities unaffordable …

Zoning And Land Use Law, Newton M. Galloway, Steven L. Jones
Mercer Law Review
During the Survey period, the Supreme Court of the United States in Knick v. Township of Scott gave aggrieved property owners in Georgia a federal taking claim for inverse condemnation resulting from a zoning regulation that the Georgia Supreme Court had previously denied them under state law in Diversified Holdings, LLP v. City of Suwanee. The Georgia Court of Appeals further refined York v. Athens College of Ministry. Finally (on a note inseparable with zoning), the Georgia Supreme Court encountered a case defining the parameters of the Georgia Open Meetings Act.

Designing Law To Enable Adaptive Governance Of Modern Wicked Problems, Barbara A. Cosens, J.B. Ruhl, Niko Soininen, Lance Gunderson
Vanderbilt Law Review
In the twenty-first century, our planet is facing a period of rapid and fundamental change resulting from human domination so extensive it is expected to be visible in the geologic record. The accelerating rate of change compounds the global social-ecological challenges already deemed “wicked” due to conflicting goals and scientific uncertainty. Understanding how connected natural and human systems respond to change is essential to understanding the governance required to navigate these modern wicked problems. This Article views change through the lens of complexity and resilience theories to inform the challenges of governance in a world dominated by such massive and …

The Impact Of Foreign Direct Investment On The Ecological Footprints Of Nations, Nadia Doytch
The Impact Of Foreign Direct Investment On The Ecological Footprints Of Nations, Nadia Doytch
Ateneo School of Government Publications
We study the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the rate of exhaustion of bioproductive physical land. We test for differential ecological performance of FDI in developed vs. developing countries, as well as in “clean” vs. “dirty” sectors. We examine the impact of six sector-level FDI flows on four ecological footprints (EF): Consumption EF, Production EF, Imports EF, and Exports EF, compiled by the Global Footprint Network. We estimate a dynamic panel model incorporating an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and differentiating across country development levels. The findings are intriguing. First, High Income countries tend to …

Differentiating Exclusionary Tendencies, John Infranca
Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works
Despite an academic consensus that easing land use regulations to increase the supply of housing can help lower housing prices, local opposition to new development remains prevalent. Onerous zoning regulations and resistance to new housing persist not only in wealthy suburbs, but also in lower-income urban neighborhoods. In addition to making housing more expensive, such policies increase residential segregation, exacerbate urban sprawl, and have detrimental environmental effects. If increasing supply tends to reduce costs, what explains this opposition, particularly during a period of rising housing costs?

State Interventions In Local Zoning, Ezra Rosser
State Interventions In Local Zoning, Ezra Rosser
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
In what has been described as an "emerging consensus" and pejoratively labeled an "elite liberaltarian consensus," there is growing scholarly recognition that land use overregulation is hurting the country by limiting the supply and increasing the price of housing. By highlighting state-level interventions that succeeded in checking local zoning authority, Professor Anika Lemar's article makes a valuable contribution to the fight against excessive zoning limitations.
“Public Use” Or Public Abuse? A New Test For Public Use In Light Of Kelo, Taylor Haines
“Public Use” Or Public Abuse? A New Test For Public Use In Light Of Kelo, Taylor Haines
Seattle University Law Review
The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment has long been controversial. It allows the government to take private property for the purpose of “public use.” But what does public use mean? The definition is one of judicial interpretation. It has evolved from the original meaning intended by the drafters of the Constitution. Now, the meaning is extremely broad. This Note argues that both the original and contemporary meaning of public use are problematic. It explores the issues with both definitions and suggests a new test, solidified in legislation instead of judicial interpretation.

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In order for municipal governments to promote sustainable and green development, create safe densities and open spaces in response to the pandemic, protect lives and property in areas vulnerable to natural disasters, and to manage climate change, they must be able to influence the development and preservation of privately owned land. For them to control the negative impacts of oil and gas facilities, they must find power to regulate matters that are typically the prerogative of state agencies. To legalize emerging renewable energy technologies, they must have authority to make them permitted uses in their zoning ordinances, and to innovate …

The Tribal Right To Exclude Non-Tribal Members From Indian-Owned Lands, Alexander Tallchief Skibine
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
In 1981, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Montana v. United States, severely restricting the ability of Indian Tribes to assume civil regulatory and adjudicatory jurisdiction over non-tribal members for activities taking place on non-Indian lands within Indian reservations. The Court in Montana stated that “it could readily agree” with the Court of Appeals’ holding that the tribe could regulate the conduct of non-member on tribal lands. Yet, twenty years later, the Court issued its opinion in Nevada v. Hicks holding that in certain circumstances, the jurisdiction of Indian tribes could also be limited even if the activities of …
