Consequences of Breaching Notary Public Law in Notarial Practice Regarding Corruption

This research examines the ramifications of breaches of the Notary Position Act (UUJN) in notarial practice, specifically concerning the stipulations in the UUJN that require honesty and legal adherence in the execution of notarial responsibilities and roles. Nevertheless, there remain notaries who contravene these regulations, which may result in corrupt practices. This research aims to ascertain if breaches of the Notary Position Act (UUJN) by notaries resulting in corruption are prosecutable under the Anti-Corruption Law (UU Tipikor), and to identify the sanctions applicable to notaries who contravene the UUJN in a manner that suggests corruption. The employed methodology is normative juridical, utilising a qualitative approach and case studies. The research findings indicate that breaches of the UUJN are closely associated with the misuse of authority that facilitates or satisfies the components of corruption offences, which can be prosecuted under the Anti-Corruption Law. The enforcement of sanctions against notaries implicated in corruption is essential for preserving the integrity of the profession and public confidence in Indonesia's legal system. Consistency in law enforcement and collaboration between law enforcement agencies and notary professional organisations are essential for the proper resolution of any infringement.
