DENPASAR - The dispute over the villa construction project has resurfaced in Bali. A foreign citizen (WNA) from Poland, Agnieszka Anna Holly, through her lawyer Valenci Prabowo Silalahi from Valenci & Partners, officially filed a Second Somasi to PT Bali Heaven Developments regarding the alleged delay in the construction of the Villa YOLO project.
The summons was addressed to the Director of PT Bali Heaven Developments, Demin Felix, for allegedly not fulfilling the obligations in the villa development cooperation contained in the Development Collaboration Agreement/Construction Contract No. V1.5/11/202410.
In the agreement, Agnieszka Anna Holly is known to have purchased and made payments for the construction of Villa V1.5 one bedroom complete with furniture, villa rental rights, and the right to use the project's common areas to the developer. The total funds that have been paid reach USD 51,940 or equivalent to more than IDR 800 million.
The victim's lawyer, Valenci Prabowo, explained that his party had previously sent a First Somasi dated May 22, 2026. However, by the time limit given, there was no settlement or certainty that his client considered adequate.
"Our clients assess that there are allegations of negligence and non-fulfillment of contractual obligations, including delays in progress and unclear completion of the project," Valenci said in a statement, Tuesday (26/5/2026).
In the Second Somasi which was sent on May 26, 2026, the legal representative again highlighted the alleged delay in construction compared to the schedule and milestones that had been agreed upon in the contract.
Based on project documentation as of May 19, 2026, construction is said to still be at the basic structure or initial construction stage. In fact, according to the schedule in the agreement, the project should have entered the facade or completion stage of the building.
Not only that, the legal representative also mentioned a WhatsApp conversation between his client and the project representative which allegedly showed changes in the construction schedule and an admission of project delays.
According to his client, the new roadmap was never written in an official addendum or approved in writing by the client.
PT Bali Heaven Developments previously said it had delivered the reason for the delay due to force majeure conditions in the form of flooding in Bali. However, the victim's lawyer considered that the reason must be proven legally and relevant to his client's project.
"The argument of force majeure cannot be conveyed just like that without concrete evidence of its impact on the project, including official notification according to the agreement mechanism," said Valenci Prabowo.
Through the summons, the legal representative asked PT Bali Heaven Developments to provide an official explanation regarding the status of the project's development, evidence related to the claim of force majeure, a response to the notice of termination, and the return of the client's funds of USD 51,940, as well as costs, losses, interest, and other legal consequences.
Valenci emphasized that this summons was an official legal step as well as an opportunity for the developer to resolve the issue professionally and responsibly.
"If there is no adequate settlement, we do not rule out taking further legal steps, including a lawsuit for non-performance, a lawsuit for illegal acts, to a claim for compensation in accordance with the applicable laws in Indonesia," he said.
Until this news was released, the problem was still at the stage of summons and official settlement request. PT Bali Heaven Developments still has the right to provide clarification or respond to the allegations made by the victim's legal representative.
