The legal issue to be discussed in this article is the involvement of the Constitutional Court in adjudicating issues concerning the relationship between national – local government in general, and the distribution of power to the local government in particular. To be more specific, this article will criticise by delivering a casenote over the Constitutional Court decisions, i.e. Decision Number 87/PUU-XIII/2015, Decision Number 137/PUU-XIII/2015, Decision Number 30/PUU-XIV/2016 and Decision Number 56/PUU-XIV/2016. The casenote will notify the need to a deeper conceptual understanding of the differences between unitary State and federalism principles and its implication in giving prescriptions. This is a response to the Constitutional Court’s judicial opinion which tends weightier to federalism, instead of unitary State principle. According to this situation, it is recommended that the Constitutional Court should not review the constitutionality of laws which contain the legal issues concerning the relationship between national – local government in general, and the distribution of power to the local government in particular. This article uses conceptual and comparative approaches.

Mass scale investment fraud (Ponzi) schemes result in protracted suffering for the victims. In this article the author investigates this crime from a juridical normative, case, and conceptual approach. From the very start potential victims may fall to promises of lucrative and safe investment schemes. In the eyes of the more prudent, it would or should be obvious that the collaborative business offers as presented contains logical flaws, running against common sense and is at the outset illegal. Notwithstanding, victims seems to fall easily into this trap, lured by the promise of getting easy, quick, and huge investment returns. In the end, even when this fraudulent investment scheme unravels, the government of law enforcement seems to be unable to act decisively and offer a satisfactory solution. Slow and ineffective government response in the end exacerbate economic loss and victims suffering.

Electronic Public Offering of Equity, Debt Securities and/or Syaria’ Undivided Share.

Art. 95(4) Law No. 28 of 2014 re. Copyright determines that mediation should be the preferred choice to settle copyright disputes, including those that relates to piracy and plagiarism. The issue to be discussed here is what would the legal consequence be in case this alternative dispute settlement is not utilized by disputants. This problem will be discussed using a juridical normative approach. Here, mediation is understood in the context of Law No. 30 of 1999 re. Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Settlement and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016 re. Mediation Procedure in Court Proceedings. The main finding of this legal research is that mediation, by law, should be offered in court or may be used out of court at any time by disputants, in civil dispute (claim for compensation) as well in criminal cases. Non utilisation does not have as consequence the cessation of existing court proceedings.

In many countries, joint custody has replaced and is considered better than sole custody. It is also deemed more in line with the gender equality principle which demands both parents to share responsibility for the custody and care of the child post-divorce. This article discusses how judges in divorce cases decide on child custody, and the extent to which they consider the merits of joint or sole custody and demand divorcees to consider making a parenting plan in the best interest of their children. Qualitative data is collected from the District Court and Religious Court at Semarang and by analysing 4 court decisions regarding child custody. Interestingly, none of the Courts above possess or implements a policy or have some procedural ruling obligating judges in divorce cases to demand parents to consider joint custody or making a parenting plan post-divorce. Obligatory pre-trial mediation is geared more as a procedural-formalistic attempt to dissuade parties to continue with divorce.

State budget management is tightly related to how the existing state law regulates fiscal relationship between the central government and the regional-local governments. The authority granted to regional-local government to manage their own budgeting more or less autonomously in practice results in mismanagement, misuse of available financial resources and even corruption. Unfettered and unchecked financial leakage at the regional government level may and have resulted in failure to realize and implement projects much needed by society. In light of this situation, a justified need arise for state intervention to monitor-control planning and realization of regional-local government budget. The author proposed the expansion of the Audit Board of the Republic Indonesia’s authority. They should not passively wait for financial reports to be submitted but actively assist regional-local government in planning their own budget, monitor the spending and realization of it and lastly, provide assistance in drafting the final report.
