Introduction Indonesia is a rule of law country so as legal acts have become a common occurrence. One of these legal acts is the legal act of a sale and purchase binding agreement on land and For Indonesian, one of the important assets with economic value is land. 1 Land is often used as an object of the transfer of land rights as land is one of human needs, even though the land area in this country is still very limited. Hence, land prices are relatively higher than other human needs. 2 Article 19 paragraphs . of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles (UUPA) state that the government implements the land registration throughout the whole territory of the Republic of Indonesia to guarantee legal certainty in accordance with provisions that are stipulated in a Government Regulation. In Article 26 paragraph . of the UUPA, it is described that the transfer of land rights is a legal act arising due to a legal relationship between the parties. This legal relationship results in legal consequences in the form of rights and obligations for the parties involved in the legal act. The transfer of land rights conducted through a sale and purchase can be carried out by making a sale and purchase binding agreement as the initial transaction for the transfer of 1 Bronto Susanto.

Herlien Budiono stated that the sale and purchase binding agreement is an auxiliary agreement functioning as a preliminary agreement with a free nature so as the sale and purchase binding agreement can be categorized as a preliminary agreement made before the main agreement is 5 The sale and purchase binding agreement does not always proceed in accordance with the applicable laws or regulations. In practice, incidents indicating a defect of will, such as fraud and duress, are often encountered. However, it cannot be said that there has been a declaration of will agreeing to the agreement without defects. This often happens in an agreement in which one party suffers significant financial losses, but due to certain circumstances, they are forced to close the agreement. 6 This condition has a high possibility to occure as one party has an advantage over the other, whether from an economic or psychological standpoint. This situation is known as abuse of circumstances or misbruik van omstandigheden (Dutc. Abuse of circumstances . isbruik van omstandighede. occurs when there is a failure to meet a valid condition of an agreement due to an imbalance in legal equation where one party is in a strong psychological, physical, and economic position, while the other is in a weak position or an ordinary person who does not understand and comprehend the content of a sale and purchase binding agreement. If the abuse of circumstances . isbruik van omstandighede. is linked to a defect of will or used as one of the elements causing a defect of will, then the annulment of deed can be requested in court. 8 Several studies have addressed the issue related to misbruik van omstandigheden, including .

Research Methods This study used a descriptive-analytical method including the description, explanation, and analysis of the issues occurred, followed by drawing conclusions to find the correct answers as solutions to the problems being analyzed. To solve legal issues and formulate regulations on what should be done, the researchers used sources called legal documents, including primary, secondary, and tertiary. This study applied a conceptual and statute Results and Discussion Sale and Purchase Binding Agreement on Land and Building Articles 1457 to 1540 of the Civil Code or general law states that a sale and purchase is an agreement . As stated in Article 1457 of the Civil Code, a sale and purchase is an agreement by which one party is bound to deliver a certain matter, for which the other party shall pay stipulated price. The definition of a sale and purchase according to national land law is a legal act of transferring rights permanently and paying the price, either in full or in installment from buyer to seller, which is carried out clearly and in cash. That definition is also based on the understanding of a sale and purchase according to customary law. The clear and cash condition is fulfilled by the completion of a sale and purchase conducted in the presence of Land Deed Official . ereinafter referred to as PPAT). The buyer will become the legal holder of the land rights from the date of signing of Sale and Purchase Deed . ereinafter referred to as AJB) by the parties in the presence of an authorized PPAT. 12 Based on the applicable legal provisions, the transfer of land rights through a sale and purchase can only be registered if it is proven by a Deed made by PPAT. The functions of signing the Sale and Purchase Deed (AJB) in front of PPAT include: . as an evidence that the sale and purchase has been carried out in front of an authorized PPAT. as an evidence that the rights to the land and/or building have been transferred from one party or seller to another party or buyer. as a tool for the registration of the transfer of land and/or building rights due to a sale and purchase of land and/or building rights to the local National Land Agency (BPN) or the local land office. The Sale and Purchase Binding Agreement . ereinafter referred to as PPJB) is an agreement that serves as a preliminary or initial agreement containing several promises that must firstly be executed and fulfilled by one or both parties before the main agreement is made as the final step of the agreement, namely Sale and Purchase Deed, serving as a proof or an evidence of the transfer of land rights (Putri and Purnawan 2.

Legal Consequences of Abuse of Circumstances (Misbruik Van Omstandighede. in Sale and Purchase Binding Agreement on Land and Building Indonesian law describes abuse of circumstances to be equivalent to the terms Aoundue influenceAo and misbruik van omstandigheden. Meanwhile, in the common law system. Aoundue influenceAo is also known as AounconscionabilityAo, where the two are different, yet both share the similarity of being based on an imbalance of bargaining power between parties. If an agreement is drawn up based on injustice occurred in an unbalanced relationship between parties, it is called Aoundue influenceAo . n unbalanced relationshi. , but if injustice occurs in a situation, it is called AounconscionabilityAo . ne-sided situatio. 15 The balance of both parties is strongly needed in an agreement. The definition of the word Auequality-equal-equilibriumAy which lexically means Auequal-comparableAy, and in Dutch. Auevenwitvhevenwicthing,Ay which means Aubalance,Ay refers to a state, degree, position, weight, etc. 16 The definition of misbruik van omstandigheden . buse of circumstance. is a new form of legal defect in the Dutch contractual law system. Currently, the doctrine of abuse of circumstances is regulated in Book i Article 44 paragraph . of the Dutch Civil Code (DCC), where it is described that Auan agreement . legal ac. can be annulled if there is deception . , threat . , and abuse of circumstances . isbruik van omstandighede. Ay17 Abuse of circumstances is not a new case in contract law. Abuse cannot be justified, but the depiction of abuse has now changed compared to the past. In the past, abuse of circumstances was depicted as contrary to public order or good manners . eode zede. , thus it was associated with a defect in cause and effect of an agreement. In essence, abuse of circumstances is not only related to an unbalanced content of an agreement, but also to an agreement considered contrary to morality based on the circumstances surrounding the formation of the agreement. Hence, the issue is not the Aucause/effectAy that is prohibited, but a defect of will, a way to AucoerceAy an AuabusedAy agreement. 18 This doctrine is closely related to the principle of balance emphasizing the bargaining position of the parties in an agreement. 14 Selamat Lumban Gaol.

Satrio, taking advantage of someone elseAos condition does not constitute a denial of the content and purpose of an agreement, but leads to the abuse of a will that is not freely given. Thus, the issue is not the Aucause or effectAy that is prohibited, but a defect of will, a way to AucoerceAy an AuabusedAy agreement. The most common abuse of circumstances is the abuse of circumstances for financial gain, which often results in a decision by a judge. Abuse of circumstances caused by financial superiority, namely: One party in an agreement is better than the other in its economic side, and The other party is coerced to fulfill an agreement. Meanwhile, abuse caused by psychological superiority includes: The dependence of the weaker party is exploited by the party with psychological superiority, and There is an extraordinary psychological superiority between one party and another. Abuse . can be occurred when one party enters into an agreement, even though the party knows or understands that it should not be done. In other words, the party in a weaker position knows that they are entering into an agreement due to duress resulting from their weak position and dependence on the stronger party. The weaker party understands that under normal circumstances, they would not enter into the agreement. The doctrine of abuse of circumstances concerns the embodiment of the freedom principle of a contract, as it involves the abuse of interfering with a free will to give consent. 22 Generally. Sale and Purchase Binding Agreement (PPJB) on land and building contains promises that must firstly be fulfilled by one party or both parties in the PPJB on land and building, before the main agreement, which is the final goal of both parties, namely the sale and purchase deed (AJB) on land and building, is signed. The AJB is signed in the presence of an authorized Land Deed Official (PPAT) in accordance with its working area. The working area of PPAT involves the region or location of the land and/or building that are the objects of the PPJB and AJB deed. To assess the validity of a notarial deed as an authentic deed, it must refer to the regulation of Article 1868 of the Civil Code Jo. Notary Office Law (Law No. 30/2004 Jo. Law No. 2/2. Meanwhile, to examine the existence of abuse of circumstances . isbruik van omstandighede. , more attention is needed regarding the sequence of circumstances or events occurred before, at the time of, and after the execution of an agreement. In practice, an agreement can result from mistakes, fraud, or duress. An agreement may have been made, but it may contain elements of duress or even fraud. Such an agreement has a defect of will. Article 1321 of the Civil Code emphasizes that if it is proven that there is duress or threat in an agreement that makes a person has no other choice but to sign the agreement, then the deed can be annulled. The starting point for an agreement becoming unbalanced is due to economic or financial factor, where one partyAos strong economic or financial position gives them the opportunity to abuse economic power . isbruik van economish overwich. , thereby making the other partyAos position too weak. Abuse of circumstances as a defect of will brings consequences for the aggrieved party to request the judge to annul the agreement . As the agreement has not been 20 Xavier Nugraha.

A request for annulment can apply to the entire content of an agreement or part of the content of an agreement. One example of a case related to the issue of abuse of circumstances is the Supreme Court Decision No. 3176K/Pdt/2020. 23 In this case, the First Instance Court Judges have fundamentally misinterpreted the evidence and facts presented in the trial. The description by the Judges can be said to be unfounded and incorrect as the Judges was misled by the arguments constructed by the Plaintiffs regarding the coerced conditions and the clauses that were not in accordance with the agreement previously made by Defendant I. In stating that there is a defect of will due to abuse of circumstances in this case, the Judges only concluded that the doctrinal and jurisprudential descriptions related to abuse of circumstances based on the subjective tendencies of the Plaintiffs. In Indonesia, the doctrine of abuse of circumstances can be said to be relatively new. This doctrine essentially teaches that an agreement can be requested for annulment by one party who feels aggrieved, if the socio-economically weaker party is exploited by the other party and coerced to enter into an agreement. 24 The recognition of the doctrine of good faith in court practice is due to the societyAos development and needs. This cannot be separated from the reality that laws are not perfect. it is impossible for them to regulate all aspects of human life. Therefore, the law develops beyond codification to fulfill the sense of justice of society through court rulings. A measure that can be taken against an agreement perceived as unfair due to a defect of will is to request for annulment of the agreement in court. This annulment can be based on the presence of defect of will as regulated in Article 1321 of the Civil Code. In its development, there are several factors causing defect of will used as the basis for annulling an agreement, one of them is abuse of circumstances that disturb the free will to express consent. There is no regulation in the legislation regarding the doctrine of abuse of circumstances . ibsruik van omstandighede. Yet, in practice, this doctrine of abuse of circumstances is known and used by judges in Indonesia as a consideration in cases related to the annulment of agreements. In its development in Indonesia, abuse of circumstances is considered a condition that can cause a defect of will among parties, so as the agreement made is not based on a perfect agreement between both parties. The existence of coercive situations and imbalance of circumstances or abuse of circumstances or abuse of opportunity . ndue influence. misbruik van omstandighede. during the drafting, creation, and/or execution of an agreement is an unlawful act that has been accepted in Indonesian judicial practice and has become a permanent jurisprudence, as described in legal provisions found in the Supreme CourtAos decision. In other words, if there is an abuse of circumstances, then the agreement is not made with the free will of both parties. By considering the valid conditions of an agreement in Indonesia as explained in Article 1320 of the Civil Code, the consequence of exploiting or abusing the situation is the same as intimidation, threat, or deception by the parties to an agreement, specifically default. Therefore, the cause of abuse of circumstances is the violation of the subjective condition of an agreement, which is the agreement among parties. Consequently, the agreement becomes void.

Another situation is when one party has a higher education level and a more dominant personality. When entering or executing an agreement, there is an unequal relationship between parties in terms of reciprocal obligations, in this case, in the form of unequal or unbalanced performances. A very significant loss for one party, for example, if the object price is not at a reasonable In Indonesia, the doctrine of abuse of circumstances . isbruik van omstandighede. cannot be found in legislation, but it has been accepted in jurisprudence as the fourth form of defect of will. The development of the doctrine of abuse of circumstances in Indonesia has been supported by several judicial decisions through court rulings issued by the judicial authorities as considerations in a civil dispute involving an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant, in which the facts revealed in the trial is considered unfair and detrimental to the positions of the parties. The consequence of a breach of agreement based on an abuse of circumstances is that the agreement will be null and void . in its entirety. This is considered unfair as only part of the agreement is deemed unjust by the aggrieved party. The agreement can be annulled by both parties, including the party committed the abuse of circumstances if the agreement is deemed to be detrimental to them. In essence, committing an abuse of circumstances is not only related to the content of an agreement considered to be disproportionate or unbalanced. An agreement is considered contrary to good ethics or morality due to the abuse of circumstances accompanying the formation of the agreement. is true that taking advantage of someone elseAos situation does not mean that the content and purpose of an agreement become forbidden, but it does mean that the person who is the target of the abuse of circumstances will not be returned to a state of freedom. Therefore, the issue is not the Aucause/reasonAy that is prohibited, but rather the defect of will, a way to AucoerceAy an AuabusedAy agreement to be Auexploited. Ay In its development, people view the abuse of circumstances from the perspective of An agreement is a subjective condition, so as if the conditions of the agreement are not met, it will result in a consequence where the agreement can be requested to be Annulment can be in the form of the annulment of the entire agreement, or the annulment of certain clauses deemed unacceptable if there is no defect of will. In general, the basis for the formation of an agreement is that the parties must act based on free and pure will, expressed in a free atmosphere. However, there are times when agreement is not reached with pure will. Their will may have been intentionally diverted in another direction or expressed in a non-free atmosphere. Clarins.
