2025-09-26T21:01:40+07:00

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: The legal issue arises when collateral rights are pledged in a credit agreement, but the collateral does not legally belong to the debtor. This creates legal uncertainty for creditors and risks the violation of the property rights of the true owner, as exemplified in Tuban District Court Decision No. 9/Pdt.G/2020/PN.Tbn.

Purpose/Study Objectives: This article aims to analyze the legal protection available for creditors when collateral used in a credit agreement is not owned by the debtor, and to identify the legal consequences that arise from such circumstances.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a normative juridical method with a case approach, focusing on the Tuban District Court Decision No. 9/Pdt.G/2020/PN.Tbn to examine judicial considerations, the application of legal principles, and the implications for both creditors and third parties.

Findings: The analysis shows that creditors face weakened legal certainty and limited rights of execution when the collateral is not legally owned by the debtor. The decision highlights the importance of ensuring the validity of collateral ownership to protect creditors, while also preventing losses for third-party property owners.

Abstract

Introduction to the Problem: Access to justice remains a significant challenge for many people, particularly those with limited legal knowledge and resources. Despite the existence of regulations that guarantee the role of advocates, gaps between legal norms and practical implementation persist, leading to inequality before the law. The authority of advocates in providing legal assistance is therefore essential to ensure fairness and human rights protection.

Purpose/Study Objectives: This article aims to analyze the authority of advocates in providing legal assistance to individuals facing legal problems and to evaluate its role in strengthening access to justice.

Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopts a normative juridical method with a statute and conceptual approach, supported by literature reviews from books, journals, and regulations relevant to the role and authority of advocates.

Findings: The findings indicate that the authority of advocates is crucial in safeguarding citizens’ rights, ensuring fair trials, and promoting equality before the law. However, challenges remain, such as limited public awareness, bureaucratic obstacles, and insufficient access for marginalized communities. The strengthening of advocates’ authority, coupled with ethical accountability and legal reform, is essential for improving justice delivery.
