Government policy in Indonesian contract law that still uses contract law inherited from Dutch product

What is it about?

Government policy in formation of new Indonesian civil law is evidently also influenced by national law development that is influenced by some factors. Internal factors are related to global and regional development such as the development of science and technology by developed countries and the development of regional organizations such as AFTA, APEC and ASEAN. Internal factors are influenced by increase in human resources, advancement of technology and customary law and Islamic law adoption into the national law. However, civil law reform, especially contract law, is deemed very important for Indonesia, since based on field fact, people do their business contract by applying contract law that is not yet regulated in the contract law in KUHPerdata, thus new contract law is needed that regulates important matters related to sources other than agreement and Law, related to termination, unjust enrichment, negotiation, good faith, public contract and private contract and related to legal act, and validity of electronic contract. Therefore, this research’s novelty is that, besides taking principles in contract law into consideration, there is also a need to regulate doctrines on unjust enrichment.
