Contracts are the backbone of business and commerce in Indonesia, directing negotiations and assuring legal compliance. The formulation, enforcement, and dispute resolution of contracts are all important topics that are covered in this article
Contract drafting
In Indonesia, the foundation of a solid contract lies in simplicity and precision. When drafting a contract:
·Offer and Acceptance: All involved parties must unequivocally agree to the contract's terms.
·Consideration: Most contracts involve an exchange of value.
·Legal Capacity: All participants should meet legal age requirements, possess sound mental health
·Adherence to the Law: Contracts must align with Indonesian law.
It's advisable to use straightforward language in contracts, reserving legal jargon for when it's truly necessary. Before finalizing any agreement, consulting with a legal expert can offer valuable insights and ensure legal compliance.
What occurs if something goes wrong?
If someone breaks a contract and the parties involved cannot resolve the issue themselves, they may require court assistance. They can either file a lawsuit in court or go to arbitration.
In arbitration, a neutral third party (the arbitrator) hears the case and makes a decision. Arbitration is a confidential process, but it is only available for business contracts.
