Penelitian ini mengkaji tanggung jawab Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah (PPAT) terhadap Akta Jual Beli yang cacat hukum, dengan studi kasus Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 2721 K/Pdt/2017. Penelitian bertujuan mengkaji pengaturan hukum prosedur pembuatan Akta Jual Beli dan kriteria cacat hukum, pertimbangan hukum Majelis Hakim dalam putusan tersebut, serta bentuk tanggung jawab PPAT atas akta yang cacat hukum. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, kasus, dan konseptual, melalui studi kepustakaan yang dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: Pertama, prosedur pembuatan Akta Jual Beli diatur dalam Pasal 38 PP Nomor 24 Tahun 1997, yang mewajibkan kehadiran para pihak secara bersamaan, minimal dua saksi, pembacaan akta, dan penjelasan isinya oleh PPAT. Akta dikategorikan cacat hukum apabila mengandung cacat lahiriah, formal, atau materiil. Kedua, Mahkamah Agung menyatakan Akta Jual Beli Nomor 66/2014 batal demi hukum karena para pihak tidak hadir bersamaan, akta tidak dibacakan, penandatanganan dilakukan di luar kantor PPAT, dan syarat kesepakatan tidak terpenuhi karena penggugat hanya menandatangani blangko kosong. Ketiga, tanggung jawab PPAT bersifat kumulatif: perdata berupa ganti kerugian (Pasal 1365 KUHPerdata); administratif berupa sanksi hingga pemberhentian (Pasal 10 PP Nomor 37 Tahun 1998); dan pidana berdasarkan Pasal 263, 264, dan 266 KUHP.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan memahami keabsahan akta yang ditandatangani tidak bersamaan oleh para penghadap dan akibat hukumnya terhadap akta autentik yang dibuat oleh Notaris. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif, dimana bersumber dari peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku, keputusan-keputusan pengadilan, teori-teori maupun konsep hukum dan pandangan para sarjana hukum. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Ketika pihak tertentu mendatangi notaris agar dituangkan kehendak mereka dalam sebuah akta dokumen resmi, lalu Notaris menyusun akta berdasarkan permintaan para pihak tersebut maka telah terbentuk sebuah akta yang berlaku sebagai hukum bagi para pihak yang terlibat. (2) Notaris wajib memastikan waktu dalam pembuatan dan penandatanganan akta tersebut dan bertanggung jawab jika di kemudian hari muncul masalah terkait keabsahan akta tersebut yang mana waktu penandatangannya tidak sesuai. (3) Notaris wajib memberikan kepastian waktu kedatangan dan penandatanganan akta yang disebutkan di bagian awal akta untuk membuktikan bahwa para pihak benar-benar hadir dan menandatangani dokumen pada waktu yang telah disebutkan dengan prosedur pembuatan akta berdasarkan UUJN, sehingga kekuatan pembuktiannya bersifat sempurna. Kelalaian dan kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh Notaris akan mengakibatkan akta terdegradasi menjadi dibawah tangan dan kemudian Notaris tersebut akan dikenai sanksi dan dikenakan tanggung jawab secara perdata di mana pihak yang menderita kerugian dapat menuntut penggantian biaya, kompensasi, dan bunga dari Notaris yang bersangkutan.

Kepastian hukum dalam pembuatan akta autentik merupakan aspek penting dalam sistem hukum perdata di Indonesia, terutama dalam menjamin perlindungan hukum bagi para pihak. Namun, dalam praktiknya, notaris seringkali dihadapkan pada permasalahan hukum yang berkaitan dengan batas pertanggungjawaban administratif dan pidana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk pelanggaran notaris dalam pembuatan akta autentik serta implikasi yuridisnya berdasarkan putusan pengadilan. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus, melalui analisis bahan hukum sekunder dan putusan pengadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelanggaran notaris pada dasarnya bersifat administratif, kecuali terdapat unsur kesengajaan atau keterlibatan aktif dalam tindak pidana. Selain itu, terdapat perbedaan penafsiran dalam putusan pengadilan yang menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya kejelasan batas pertanggungjawaban notaris guna menjamin kepastian hukum dan perlindungan profesi notaris

Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) merupakan salah satu kebijakan strategis pemerintah dalam upaya pemenuhan gizi masyarakat yang dilaksanakan melalui Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG) sebagai penyedia layanan pangan. Dalam implementasinya, setiap SPPG diwajibkan memiliki sejumlah legalitas keamanan pangan, seperti Sertifikat Laik Higiene Sanitasi (SLHS), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), dan Sertifikat Halal guna menjamin mutu serta keamanan produk makanan yang didistribusikan kepada penerima manfaat. Namun demikian, masih ditemukan SPPG yang belum memenuhi persyaratan sertifikasi tersebut tetapi telah beroperasi dan ditetapkan sebagai penyedia layanan dalam Program MBG. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk inkonsistensi regulasi dalam sertifikasi keamanan pangan pada SPPG serta mengkaji dampaknya terhadap implementasi Program MBG. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui studi dokumentasi terkait implementasi sertifikasi keamanan pangan pada SPPG. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inkonsistensi regulasi terjadi akibat disharmoni kebijakan antar institusi, perbedaan standar operasional sertifikasi, lemahnya mekanisme validasi dan audit oleh Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN), serta seringnya pelanggaran administratif dan rendahnya penerapan sanksi. Kondisi tersebut berdampak pada rendahnya jaminan kualitas dan keamanan pangan, ketidakpastian standar kandungan gizi produk makanan, serta potensi kerugian bagi penerima manfaat, khususnya siswa, ibu menyusui, dan lansia. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa harmonisasi regulasi, standardisasi mekanisme sertifikasi, serta penguatan koordinasi dan konsistensi penerapan sanksi merupakan faktor penting dalam meningkatkan efektivitas sertifikasi keamanan pangan pada SPPG guna mendukung keberhasilan implementasi Program MBG secara berkelanjutan.

The development of the cosmetics industry has had both positive and negative impacts on consumers, particularly in Medan City. The high demand for cosmetics has driven irresponsible business actors to produce and distribute cosmetics without distribution permits from the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM). This study aims to analyze the role of BPOM in supervising illegal cosmetics, examine criminal sanction enforcement, and identify obstacles faced by PPNS investigators at BBPOM Medan. A qualitative empirical juridical approach with field research method was used, employing in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The primary informant is the Head of BBPOM Medan. Results show BPOM supervises through pre-market and post-market control, enforcement, and public education. Criminal sanctions under Article 435 of Law No. 17 of 2023 impose up to 12 years imprisonment or Rp5 billion fine. Key obstacles include limited investigator legal expertise, budget constraints, low public participation, fleeing suspects, and files returned by prosecutors. Strengthening investigator capacity, improving inter-agency coordination, and increasing public awareness are urgently needed.

This study uses an integrated analysis of positive law and Islamic law at Polres Bungo to investigate the reconstruction of sanctions for juvenile offenders during the investigation stage. Empirical trends suggest a procedural and administrative orientation that may restrict substantive rehabilitation, even though Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak (Juvenile Criminal Justice System Act) formally adopts restorative justice, diversion, and the best interests of the child as guiding principles. Using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates statutory, theological-normative (shar‘i), and historical considerations, this study uses a normative qualitative design based on library research. The theoretical framework incorporates maqāṣid al-sharīʿah as a normative evaluation instrument, legal effectiveness theory, and punishment theories. The findings reveal a conceptual convergence between Indonesian positive law and Islamic criminal jurisprudence in differentiating criminal responsibility based on maturity and prioritizing rehabilitation over retribution. There are still differences, nevertheless, when it comes to age criteria and the classification of sanctions: Islamic law places more emphasis on moral and biological maturity (baligh and tamyīz), whereas positive law focuses on strict legislative boundaries. The predominance of formal legality over psychosocial assessment at the investigative level runs the risk of undermining rehabilitative goals. In order to maintain proportionality and child protection, this study suggests a reconstructive paradigm that operationalizes maqāṣid-based principles, combines thorough psychological evaluation, and improves diversion measures. In addition to realistically advancing the creation of a more equitable, rehabilitative, and child-centered investigative framework, the research theoretically advances the conversation about harmonizing state and Islamic law.

This study aims to examine the role of the Village Government in enforcing customary law sanctions of Wake Uru Sorong Tada and to analyze the effectiveness of its implementation in Heo Puat Village, Hewokloang District, Sikka Regency. Wake Uru Sorong Tada is a form of customary law that functions as a traditional prohibition to regulate and protect community ownership of agricultural products and commodities. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving key informants such as the village head, Village Consultative Body members, traditional leaders, and community members. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Heo Puat Village Government plays an active role as a facilitator, mediator, and guarantor in enforcing customary sanctions in accordance with Village Regulation Number 2 of 2009. The village government does not directly determine the sanctions but collaborates closely with customary institutions in resolving violations. The enforcement of Wake Uru Sorong Tada customary law sanctions is considered effective in maintaining social order, security, and a sense of safety in property ownership among community members. The strict and binding nature of customary sanctions has significantly increased legal awareness and minimized social conflicts within the village.

This research seeks to examine the influence of taxpayer knowledge, taxpayer awareness, and tax sanctions on the compliance of motor vehicle taxpayers in Boyolali Regency. Motor vehicle tax constitutes a significant component of regional original revenue; however, the level of revenue realization has not yet fully met the established targets, indicating the presence of compliance-related challenges. The study adopts a quantitative explanatory design. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 motor vehicle taxpayers registered at the Boyolali Samsat Office, with respondents selected through accidental sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software, following preliminary tests of validity, reliability, and classical assumptions. The findings demonstrate that taxpayer knowledge and taxpayer awareness exert a positive and statistically significant effect on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance. In addition, tax sanctions are also shown to have a positive and significant impact and represent the most dominant factor influencing compliance. These results are consistent with Attribution Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior, which highlight the importance of both internal and external determinants in shaping taxpayer compliance behavior. This study is expected to provide empirical support for research on regional tax compliance and offer practical insights for local governments in developing strategies to improve motor vehicle tax compliance.

Although JKN aims to provide equitable and quality health services, fraudulent practices, such as phantom billing and diagnosis manipulation, continue to grow, harming BPJS Kesehatan and participants. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of legal sanctions against JKN claim fraud in FKRTL and identify gaps in their implementation. Although regulations are in place, law enforcement remains weak, with administrative sanctions failing to provide sufficient deterrence. The gap in this research lies in the lack of application of criminal sanctions in fraud cases, especially in existing regulations. The novelty of this research is its comparative approach between current administrative sanctions and the potential application of criminal sanctions in the context of healthcare fraud. The research method uses a normative-descriptive approach, analyzing regulations and fraud audit results, and identifying gaps in the implementation of legal sanctions. The results of the study indicate that strengthening criminal sanctions and integrating technology in claim monitoring can increase the effectiveness of fraud prevention. These findings are expected to strengthen regulations and improve the integrity of the JKN system, as well as provide policy recommendations for more effective law enforcement.

This study aims to analyze the influence of tax knowledge and tax sanctions on taxpayer compliance, as well as assess the role of taxpayer awareness as a moderation variable in individual taxpayers (WPOP) in West Aceh Regency. The research uses a quantitative approach with ex post facto design and survey methods. A sample of 100 respondents was selected through a random sampling technique based on the Slovin formula. Primary data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analysis using instrument tests (validity and reliability), classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and moderation regression tests to test hypotheses. The results of the study show that tax knowledge has a positive effect on taxpayer compliance. Tax sanctions also have a positive effect on taxpayer compliance. In addition, taxpayer awareness has been shown to moderate the relationship between tax sanctions and taxpayer knowledge. This means that the higher the taxpayer's awareness, the stronger the influence of tax knowledge and sanctions on taxpayer compliance. These findings are expected to be considered for tax authorities in formulating policies to increase compliance through education and strengthening tax awareness.

This research aims to test and analyze the influence of tax administration modernization, tax knowledge, tax socialization, and tax sanctions on the compliance of individual taxpayers registered at the Primary Tax Office (KPP Pratama) Atambua. This study is a quantitative research employing a descriptive approach method. The data collection technique used in this research involves distributing questionnaires via Google Form. The sampling method applied is random sampling, with a sample size of 100 individual taxpayers. The analysis method utilized is multiple linear regression analysis. The research results indicate that all four independent variables have a positive and significant influence on individual taxpayer compliance (WPOP), both partially and simultaneously. Modernization enhances compliance through the efficiency of electronic systems such as e-Filing. Knowledge strengthens reporting accuracy with a better understanding of procedures. Socialization builds motivation through easily accessible information via digital and print media. Sanctions create a deterrent effect through awareness of fines and penalties.

Penelitian ini menganalisis dasar hukum dan tanggung jawab notaris dalam tindak pidana pemalsuan akta otentik berdasarkan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) dan Undang-Undang Jabatan Notaris (UUJN). Notaris memiliki kewenangan membuat akta otentik yang berkekuatan hukum sempurna, namun hal ini juga menciptakan celah bagi pemalsuan yang merugikan. Pemalsuan akta termasuk tindak pidana pemalsuan surat, menimbulkan kompleksitas dalam menentukan batas tanggung jawab notaris karena kewajiban verifikasi notaris yang terbatas dalam investigasi materiil, serta adanya perbedaan pendekatan antara KUHP dan UUJN. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan pendekatan statute dan conceptual, mengkaji peraturan dan literatur hukum. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa notaris dapat dikenakan sanksi pidana jika terbukti sengaja terlibat dalam pemalsuan. Kesimpulannya, diperlukan harmonisasi antara KUHP dan UUJN untuk memastikan kepastian hukum bagi notaris dan masyarakat, dengan penekanan pada pembuktian unsur kesengajaan (dolus) notaris.

This study aims to analyze the implementation gap (Das Sein) against the normative provisions (Das Sollen) regarding the prohibition on riding a motorbike with more than one passenger (Bonceng Tiga/BOTI) as regulated in Article 106 Paragraph (9) of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation (LLAJ Law). The main problems studied are the factors underlying public non-compliance and the effectiveness of the role of the authorities in implementing criminal sanctions in the form of fines in Article 292 of the LLAJ Law. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The secondary data analyzed are in the form of primary legal materials (LLAJ Law) and secondary (journals, books, study results). The results of the initial study indicate a significant gap between the prohibition norm (Das Sollen) and practice in the field (Das Sein). Public non-compliance is influenced by socio-economic factors (wanting to save time and costs), while the effectiveness of the maximum fine of IDR 250,000.00 (Article 292) is considered low because the nominal value does not create an adequate deterrent effect. In addition, inconsistent law enforcement also exacerbates ineffectiveness. Therefore, a revision of the legal substance and an increase in enforcement consistency are needed to optimize traffic safety guarantees.

Taxes serve as the primary source of state revenue and a crucial component in financing national development through the State Budget (APBN). This study examines the determinants of individual taxpayer compliance within the Klaten Primary Tax Office (KPP) in Central Java, with particular emphasis on the influence of awareness, comprehension of regulations, and understanding of tax sanctions. The research method uses a quantitative associative approach. Primary data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents using a nonprobability sampling technique, using the accidental sampling method. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results show that awareness, understanding of regulations, and comprehension of tax sanctions have a statistically significant effect on individual taxpayer compliance, both partially and simultaneously. The adjusted R value illustrates the model's ability to explain the data at 64.7%. To improve taxpayer compliance, tax authorities are advised to routinely conduct sustainable and easily accessible tax education programs, enforce tax sanctions consistently and transparently, and be supported by awareness campaigns for taxpayers in fulfilling their responsibilities to the state.

Bendera dan lambang Negara, Bahasa Indonesia, serta Lagu Kebangsaan merupakan cerminan kedaulatan, kemandirian, dan eksistensi negara yang merdeka, bersatu, berdaulat, adil dan makmur, sekaligus sebagai jati diri bangsa dan identitas negara.

Match fixing is a serious issue in Indonesian football, as it undermines public trust and damages the sport’s reputation. This research aims to: (1) analyze the legal requirements for individuals involved in match fixing in Indonesian football competitions to receive sanctions from the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) and criminal penalties from the court; and (2) examine the fairness of sanctions, particularly fines, imposed on football clubs involved in match fixing as stipulated in the PSSI disciplinary code. This study employs a doctrinal research method, focusing on written legal provisions and relying heavily on secondary data obtained from literature. The research also applies comparative, case, and statutory approaches. Legal materials are classified into primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, with data collected through literature study. The analysis uses a normative juridical method. Findings indicate that disciplinary sanctions by PSSI are regulated under Article 7, which stipulates that intentional or negligent disciplinary violations will result in sanctions without exception. Sanctions may include playing matches in closed stadiums or banning play in certain locations to maintain security and prevent riots, even without concrete evidence of disciplinary violations. In contrast, for a court to impose criminal penalties, several elements must be met: (1) the existence of a legal subject; (2) proof of fault; (3) unlawful conduct; (4) actions prohibited or mandated by law with specified penalties; and (5) occurrence in a specific time, place, and context. Regarding fines against football clubs involved in match fixing, the PSSI disciplinary code provides only administrative sanctions and monetary penalties paid to PSSI. These measures are considered less effective and fair because they lack provisions for criminal sanctions in the applicable legal framework, leaving a gap between sports governance and criminal law enforcement.

Taxpayer compliance is a crucial factor in optimizing state revenue, particularly in supporting national development financing. However, in practice, various obstacles are still encountered that hinder the achievement of optimal compliance levels. Some of these include employees' low understanding of tax provisions and the less than optimal effectiveness of tax sanction implementation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between tax knowledge (X1) and tax sanctions (X2) on taxpayer compliance (Y) among employees of the Banten Province Cooperatives and SMEs Office. This study uses a quantitative method with an associative approach. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling, so that the entire population of 45 people is used as the research sample. Data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) based Structural Equation Modeling method using SmartPLS software version 4.0. The results show that the tax knowledge variable (X1) has a t-statistic value of 1.190 <1.96 and a significance value (p-value) of 0.234 >0.05. Thus, tax knowledge does not have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance. Furthermore, the tax sanction variable (X2) obtained a t-statistic value of 1.436 < 1.96 and a p-value of 0.151 > 0.05, which means that tax sanctions also do not have a significant effect on taxpayer compliance. Overall, this study concludes that neither tax knowledge nor tax sanctions partially have a significant effect on the level of taxpayer compliance among the employees who were respondents in the study. This finding indicates that other factors, such as personal awareness, perceptions of tax fairness, and intrinsic motivation, may have a more dominant role in shaping taxpayer compliance. Therefore, a more comprehensive policy strategy is needed to increase compliance, not only through increasing knowledge or enforcing sanctions, but also through ongoing coaching, socialization, and persuasive approaches.

This research is motivated by the low level of taxpayer compliance in paying Land and Building Tax (PBB) in Ngronggot District, Nganjuk Regency. This compliance problem is indicated by the high rate of delays and non-compliance in paying tax obligations, which is largely caused by weak enforcement of sanctions, low taxpayer awareness, and diverse economic conditions of the community. This study aims to analyze the influence of tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, and economic level on compliance in paying PBB. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique, through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 taxpayer respondents selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression, accompanied by classical assumption tests such as normality tests, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and hypothesis tests (t-test and F-test) to examine the influence of independent variables partially and simultaneously on the dependent variable. The results of the study indicate that partially, tax sanctions, taxpayer awareness, and economic level have a positive and significant influence on taxpayer compliance in paying PBB. Simultaneously, these three variables are also proven to have a significant influence on taxpayer compliance. These findings provide an important contribution to the formulation of regional fiscal policies, particularly regarding strategies for increasing regional tax revenue. Practical implications of this research include the need to increase the effectiveness of sanction enforcement, intensify tax outreach and education, and improve tax administration services to encourage public awareness and compliance. With the right strategies, it is hoped that taxpayer compliance will increase sustainably and contribute to optimizing regional revenue.

This study aims to analyze the influence of tax literacy knowledge, taxpayer awareness, and tax sanctions on hotel taxpayer compliance in Boyolali Regency. The research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 58 respondents who are hotel taxpayers in Boyolali Regency. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that tax literacy knowledge has a positive influence on taxpayer compliance with a significance value of 0.001. Taxpayer awareness also has a positive influence on taxpayer compliance with a significance value of 0.000. Additionally, tax sanctions have a positive influence on taxpayer compliance with a significance value of 0.006. Based on these results, it can be concluded that all three independent variables significantly affect the level of hotel taxpayer compliance in Boyolali Regency.

This study aims to analyze the effect of tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and tax socialization on individual taxpayer compliance. The research was conducted at the Tax Service, Counseling, and Consultation Office (KP2KP) Wonogiri using a quantitative approach.
