TANGGUNG JAWAB HUKUM DALAM KASUS WANPRESTASI PADA PERJANJIAN JUAL-BELI BARANG

Abstract

This research aims to deeply analyze legal liability in cases of breach of contract in sales agreements based on the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata). Breach of contract, which is one form of contract violation, often occurs in sales transactions and can cause significant losses to the aggrieved party. This research uses a normative juridical approach to examine various court decisions related to breach of contract cases and their legal implications for the parties involved in the agreement. Through an analysis of court decisions, this research finds that legal liability in breach of contract cases heavily depends on the contractual terms agreed upon by the parties and the evidence presented in court. Additionally, this research identifies factors that influence judges decisions in determining legal liability, including the interpretation of relevant articles in the Civil Code. The research results show that legal protection for the aggrieved party in sales agreements still needs to be strengthened. Therefore, this research provides several recommendations to enhance such legal protection, including improving contract provisions and increasing legal awareness among the parties involved in sales transactions. Thus, it is hoped that this research can make a significant contribution to the development of civil law in Indonesia, particularly in the context of breach of contract in sales agreements.
