JAKARTA - When disputes between individuals in Indonesia do not arise, civil law becomes a tool to solve the problem.

What then becomes the question is the understanding of civil law itself and what are the examples of civil law that occur in Indonesia?

To answer the above questions, it is worth knowing the important things that should be known about civil law. Here's the information that VOI summarizes, taken from a variety of reliable sources.

Civil Law and Its History

In fh.umkendari.ac.id website, civil law is a provision governing the rights and obligations of individuals in society. That is, civil law contains everything that governs the rights and obligations of individuals in public life.

Civil law falls into the realm of private law because it regulates individual interests. This type of law is quite familiar because of the many problems of society in its social sphere that are solved by this legal tool.

In a journal entitled BURGELIJK WETBOEK, Tracing the History of Law Enforcement in Indonesia, Erie Hariyanto's work is said that the civil law originally originated from the Romans in 50 BC.

The law drafted by the Romans was enforced in France because at that time the Romans controlled France. In its preparation, legal adaptations were taken from a variety of sources, including the original law that existed in France before the Roman occupation. In addition, it is also adapted to church law or Catholic law.

The law created by the Romans was eventually enforced in the Netherlands because France successfully colonized the country. The law consisting of three elements—Roman law, French law, and Church law—was finally adapted in Indonesia because at that time the Dutch government succeeded in colonizing Indonesia.

However, the laws applied in Indonesia are not exactly the same as those in the Netherlands and other European countries. Clearly, the enactment of Dutch civil law in Indonesia was closely related to the politics of dutch east Indies government law at the time.

Differences between Civil and Criminal Law

Basically, the type of law in Indonesia is divided into two types, namely Public law and Private law. Both types are still subdivided into several types of law, among which are criminal law and civil law. Both types of laws are often mentioned in various reports related to the issue of legal case resolution.

In hukum.jogjakota.go.id website, it is said that criminal law aims to protect the public interest. That is, criminal law is used to deal with cases that have direct implications on society at large (generally.

If a person commits a crime that adversely affects the security, peace, welfare, and public order in the community, then that is the realm of criminal law.

While civil law is private, which emphasizes on relationships between individuals aka emphasize the interests of individuals. That is, if there is a criminal act that only affects the limited and tidan impact on the public interest, then the case becomes the realm of civil law.

Examples of Recent Civil Law Cases

In Indonesia, many crimes are settled civilly. Not only applies to ordinary people, civil law also applies to officials, business people, to religious figures. So, what is the example of a civil law case in Indonesia?

Do you remember the dispute between PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) VIII and the former High Priest of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab?

Based on the news raised in VOI, PT PTPN VIII disputes the land area of 30.91 hectares in Kuta Village, Megamendung, Bogor, West Java. The land has been built Pondok Pesantren Alam Argokultural Markaz Syariah FPI. The construction itself has been carried out since 2013.

University of Indonesia (UI) criminal law expert Indriyanto Seno Adji said rizieq Shihab was the party responsible in the case. Indriyanto assessed that PTPN could have filed a civil lawsuit.
