Signing a Contract in Indonesia must have an Indonesian Version

Recently, Queen Law Firm received several debt disputes between foreign companies and Indonesian companies. Foreign companies provided products or services to Indonesian companies, but Indonesian companies did not perform contracts to make payments. Among them, the case of several foreign companies could not be recovered through legal channels, because at the time of signing the contract, there was no contract in the Indonesian version, only the English version of the contract.

Indonesian law stipulates that a contract must be signed in Indonesia and Indonesian stamp duty must be used in order to have a legal effect. This is a necessary measure for a country to maintain its sovereignty and international image. However, many foreign companies do not know enough about Indonesia’s national conditions. They do not know that Indonesia’s official language is not English, but Indonesian language. They do not pay enough attention to legal matters. This has been exploited by many Indonesian companies to legally collect debts. Hidden hidden dangers.

The picture below is a stamp duty commonly used in Indonesian contracts. All contracts must be stamped and then signed to be legally binding.

This matter has already attracted the attention of many governments. The Japanese government has specially trained in this area for Japanese companies that will conduct commercial activities in Indonesia. The governments of other countries have not attracted enough attention, and we are also very distressed to see that many foreign companies have suffered losses.

So, is there a solution to this situation? Our answer is, yes. But the risks are higher, the costs are higher, and it takes longer time.

Therefore, if a foreign company wants to conduct business activities in Indonesia, it is best to hire a professional lawyer to carry out relevant legal services, such as contract drafting, document review, qualification review, and commercial negotiation. Things about the law must not be taken lightly, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

 

Indonesian Supreme Court Promotes E-court System

In order to realize the principle of Simple, Fast and Low Cost in the judiciary, the Indonesian government issued a new policy namely the Supreme Court Regulation Number 3 of 2018 concerning the implementation of e-court.

In the framework of this implementation, the Indonesian Supreme Court cooperated with Advocate Organizations to disseminate information about the e-court, such socialization was carried out throughout Indonesia.

The E-court is very helpful for Advocates in carrying out their duties, making advocate work simpler and faster, with the e-court advocates have been able to register cases at the office without having to go to court, and payment of down-payment cases is easier because it can be done via transfer because the e-court itself has collaborated with several banks throughout Indonesia.

Deception Under the Guise of Marriage

On Tuesday, February 12, 2019, Queen’s Law Firm was entrusted to become an agent of a well-known Indonesian female entrepreneur in a civil lawsuit.

Interestingly in this case, the ex-husband of the female entrepreneur was only intended to share her business profits. When the female entrepreneur saw the true purpose of the irresponsible man, she chose to divorce and did not get it. The ex-husband of any benefit, under the anger of anger, a complaint, took the female entrepreneur to the court and demanded to divide the huge amount of property.

This is a very meaningful case for the majority of female friends. In this materialistic society, female friends must always be vigilant, so as not to become victims of men with special purposes. Instead of being accused of going to court after divorce, it is better to strictly check the other person’s character before marriage. . Love is blind, but blind love is also dangerous.

Of course, female friends should not be patient or even evade when they encounter legal difficulties. Instead, they must stand up bravely and seek legal help to resist those injustices. We, Queen’s Law Firm, are always ready to lend a helping hand to the majority of female friends.
