Abstract

Uncertainty surrounding land purchase and sale agreements in Indonesia is a well-known issue that has resulted in a wide range of legal practices up to this point. This research aims to examine why there isn’t more legal certainty in Indonesia due to land sales and purchases. The normative legal technique is the research methodology employed. The study’s findings demonstrated that Indonesia’s pluralistic legal framework for property sale and purchase agreements dates back to the Dutch colonial period. Law No. 5 of 1960 brought the then-plenty legal sources together. This law’s flaw in property sale and purchase agreements is a vague norm or a lack of precise and comprehensive restrictions. Consequently, the absence of established norms has led to the emergence of diverse interpretations and theories about the legal sources found in Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997, BW, and Customary Law. As is typical with other developing nations, Indonesia has a diversity of legal conventions, which adds to the confusion. In addition, there are court rulings with varying legal implications and the Supreme Court Circular Letter’s dualistic approach to addressing the problem of land sale and purchase agreements.
