Abstract

This article aims to explore the position of an insurance company that is subject to specific conditions when applying for bankruptcy and requesting a postponement of debt payment obligations. Consequently, their business activities are closely tied to public interest. The focus of the issue lies in understanding the authority of the Financial Services Authority in overseeing bankruptcy filings and debt payment obligation postponements for insurance companies. To address this concern, Jeremy Bentham's theoretical framework is employed, leveraging his utilitarian perspective, which posits that the objective of the law is to achieve the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. The research methodology adopts a normative legal approach, employing descriptive analytical techniques. Data sources encompass primary legal materials and secondary sources. The data collection process involves library research, with qualitative analysis being applied. This study concludes that the harmonization of diverse regulations pertaining to bankruptcy filings and the suspension of debt payment obligations for insurance companies is of utmost importance. Such harmonization aligns with a benefit-oriented approach aimed at safeguarding public interests.
