This research aims to analyze the responsibility of developers and consumers in the pre-project selling agreement if force majeure occurs. And this research aims to analyze the actions or risk mitigation efforts that can be taken by developers and consumers in the pre-project selling agreement if a force majeure event occurs.  The approach used is normative with statutory and comparative methods, relying on primary and secondary legal materials through literature studies. This research uses descriptive analysis, namely describing the impact of force majeure events on pre-project selling agreements that correlate with liability and risk mitigation efforts for developers and consumers. The liability of developers and consumers to risks due to force majeure is that developers and consumers are fully responsible for their rights and obligations in the agreement. Developers are responsible for providing clarity of information according to the agreement, while consumers are responsible for their own actions against risks according to the agreed agreement. Risk mitigation efforts that can be done by developers and consumers are setting force majeure clauses in pre-project selling agreements to protect the interests of developers and consumers and making addendums as an alternative solution that is preventive to legal risks in pre-project selling agreements.    

This study compares the legal protection of pre-project selling property contracts in Indonesia and Singapore, focusing on the regulation of the position of PPJB, consumer protection, and the mechanism of transfer of ownership and payment. The approach used is normative with legislative and comparative methods, relying on primary and secondary legal materials through literature studies. Descriptive and comparative analysis reveal significant differences in the legal arrangements of the two countries. In Indonesia, Law No. 8 of 1999 and Law No. 1 of 2011 regulate pre-project selling through PPJB, but supervision is weak so that it often harms consumers, such as in the case of Meikarta. In contrast, Singapore has more detailed regulations, such as the Housing Developers (Control and Licensing) Act, which requires escrow accounts for consumer funds and strict payment schemes. Supervision and law enforcement in Singapore are more effective with strict sanctions against violations, reinforced by jurisprudence such as the Jurisprudence of Tan Eck Hong v Maxz Universal Development Group Pte Limited (2012) SGHC 240. This study concludes that legal protection in Singapore is more advanced than Indonesia, providing important recommendations for property law reform in Indonesia to prevent disputes and abuse in property transactions.

In Indonesian positive law, only the KHI states that child custody falls to the mother. Other regulations only state that both parents are still obliged to look after their children without providing an explanation to whom child custody is given after divorce. In child custody decisions, several decisions were found that gave child custody to the mother, but also decisions were found that gave child custody to the father. This causes legal uncertainty in determining child custody after divorce. This research aims to analyze the most appropriate indicators of the judge's consideration in decisions regarding child custody based on the principle of the child's best interests. The research method used is prescriptive normative legal research using a conceptual approach. The results of the research show that there are several indicators that can be used in considering determining child custody, namely, child welfare, parental behavior, coordination between parents, and distribution of parental time. If it is felt that other indicators are needed, the judge can add these indicators as long as they are in accordance with the principle of the child's best interests.
