The civil lawsuit of songwriter Ari Bias against Agnes Monica or Agnez Mo was granted by a judge at the Jakarta Commercial Court. Agnez Mo had to pay Ari a fine of IDR 1.5 billion. A fine of IDR 1.5 billion must be paid because Agnez Mo was found guilty of violating the Copyright Law, not having permission to sing the song 'Bilang Saja' created by Ari Bias, while performing at three different events. Ari Bias emphasized that Agnez Mo had not provided any response regarding the decision of the Jakarta Commercial Court, which asked him to pay compensation of IDR 1.5 billion to Ari.[1]

In its decision, the Panel of Judges considered two main things in the main case. First, the legal ownership of the copyright for the song "Bilang Saja" by Ari Bias. Second, commercial use of songs without permission by Agnes Monica. Based on the evidence presented, including the Creation Registration Letter from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI), the Judge stated that Ari Bias was the creator and copyright holder of the song "Bilang Saja". In addition, video evidence and concert posters show that Agnes Monica has performed the song in three performances without permission from Ari Bias. For this reason, the Panel of Judges partially granted Ari Bias' lawsuit and decided that the use of the song "Bilang Saja" by Agnes Monica without permission violated Article 9 paragraphs (2) and (3) of Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright. This article requires anyone who uses a work commercially to obtain permission from the creator or copyright holder.[2] Until it was published, this case still did not have permanent legal force.

Electronic BPKB (Motor Vehicle Owner's Book) Has Been Launched in Indonesia

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Scammed by a Itinerant Street Vendor", "Deceived by Buying Durian Online", you may read also "Case of Ordering 100 Kg Durian" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Electronic BPKB (Motor Vehicle Owner's Book) Has Been Launched in Indonesia'.

BPKB (Motor Vehicle Owner's Book) will be more sophisticated because it is electronic. The shape has also changed, if it was originally a book with a fairly wide size, it is now smaller. If we pay attention, its current shape resembles a passport. Its sophistication is also similar to an electronic passport, namely it is equipped with a chip to store vehicle data. "In the past, the BPKB had paper that was quite wide. Later, it was small like a passport. There was a chip that contained complete vehicle data. If it was lost, we could access it easily so it could be printed again," explained Head of the BPKB Sub-Directorate, Directorate of Police Traffic Corps, Commissioner Pol. Sumardji.[1]

Even though the form and technology involved are more sophisticated, there has been no change regarding costs. For information, the cost of issuing a new BPKB still refers to Government Regulation (PP) no. 76 of 2020 concerning Types and Rates of PNBP Applicable to the National Police. It says that the cost of issuing a BPKB or changing ownership will be IDR 225 thousand for a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorized vehicle. Meanwhile, for four-wheeled vehicles, the cost of issuing a new one and changing ownership is IDR 375 thousand. "There has been no change in costs," said Sumardji.[2]

The existence of electronic BPKB will make things easier for vehicle owners. The electronic BPKB contains the complete identity of the vehicle owner. Implementing electronic BPKB will also make the vehicle mutation process faster. It is even claimed that the process takes no more than one day. As is known, the process of mutation or duplication of lost BPKB must take months. The electronic BPKB is integrated with several things such as vehicle history, vehicle data, and can be connected to NFC on a smartphone. However, please note that this electronic BPKB will only come into effect in March 2025, specifically for new cars. Meanwhile, it is not yet known when exactly two-wheeled vehicles will be implemented because it adjusts to the existing budget.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Once upon a time there was a durian fan named Feng who confided in himself and felt he had been cheated by a durian seller. Feng, who lives in Geylang Bahru, Singapore, told of his experience of being offered by a itinerant street vendor.[1]

Finally Feng bought durian because the price was quite reasonable. The seller was offering durian at a price of 18 SGD (IDR. 215,000) per kilogram. Feng initially intended to only buy two durians, but the seller persuaded him and said he would get one free durian if he bought four durians.[2]

In total, Feng bought durian weighing 19.8 kg or the equivalent of SGD 356 (IDR 4.3 million). However, what made Feng even more disappointed was the quality and taste of the durian he received. The free durian that was used as a bonus turned out to be poor quality durian with an unpleasant taste that couldn't even be eaten.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Fraud can happen anywhere and at any time, even through online durian sites that don't seem suspicious. This unfortunate incident happened to a woman from Singapore named Xu. He was cheated out of SGD 53,780 (IDR. 596 million) when he wanted to buy durian on an online site.[1]

This 50 year old woman initially saw a durian advertisement on Facebook. At that time he was tempted to buy Musang King durian at a price of SGD 6 (IDR. 66,527) which was considered very cheap. He was told to send money using the application requested by the seller.[2]

Because the application had an error, Xu entered it several times. But the employee reported that the payment had not been successful and told him to go to the bank. Not long after he made another transaction to buy food, Xu was surprised to find a withdrawal of SGD 53,780 (IDR. 596 million).[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Home of Durian is a famous durian shop in Singapore. Recently they opened a durian auction for charity at the Kidney Dialysis Foundation organization. But these good intentions did not turn out to be smooth. A few days before the charity auction started, a consumer ordered 100 kg of durian from the Home of Durian.[1]

The consumer immediately contacted the shop owner named Samuel Chen. Due to the abundance of durian orders, Samuel finally prepared hundreds of durians specifically for these consumers. Unfortunately, on the day of the auction, the customer disappeared without a word and did not pay for his durian order.[2]

Because durian fruit rots quickly, Samuel lost up to SGD 2,000 (IDR. 29.3 million). This is the first time Chen has been cheated in the durian business.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

This fraud case began when a woman named Lie from Singapore saw an online advertisement on Facebook. The 52 year old woman was tempted by the offer of a tour package called 'GD Travel & Tour', which aimed at the durian plantation in Kulai, Malaysia.[1]

The price is only SGD 28 (IDR. 337,300). He immediately contacted the tour party on Facebook, then continued on WhatsApp and Lie was told to download an application called EG Store on his cellphone.[2]

In the end, Lie didn't buy the ticket because his friends couldn't participate. However, a week later Lie realized that his account had been frozen because there had been a large money transaction to America. The money missing from his account was SGD 110,000 (IDR. 1.3 billion). Even though the money was his savings to marry his son in 2024.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

This durian seller from Sungai Klau, Malaysia lost RM 414,932 (Rp. 1.4 billion), after one of the buyers provided fake proof of transfer to pay for the Musang King durian he bought.[1] 

This incident started when a buyer made 26 transactions to purchase Musang King durian at the shop. He asked that the payment be made online. This online payment is done quite often, because Lok Kiam continues to buy various types of durian from the shop. But the seller only realized this fraudulent act, when the seller discovered that no money had come in from dozens of transactions.[2] 

Even after recalculating, the losses he experienced reached IDR 1.4 billion. Because it turns out that all the proof of payment sent by this fraudster was fake, and was never recorded at the bank where the durian seller opened an account.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Japanese Court Demands Dewi Sukarno Pay a Fine of IDR 3 Billion

Team of Hukumindo

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Fintech Synapse's Bankruptcy Leaves Thousands of Customers in the US at a Loss", "Gao And Kara: The Story of New Zealand Runaway Millionaire", you may read also "How to Change the Data on Your Land Certificate Due to the Impact of Regional Expansion" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Japanese Court Demands Dewi Sukarno Pay a Fine of IDR 3 Billion'.

The Japanese Labor Court imposed a fine of 29 million yen or around IDR. 3.03 billion on President Sukarno's wife, Naoko Nemoto alias Dewi Sukarno. The sanctions were imposed following the termination of employment (PHK) of two employees. The lawsuit was filed in February 2021. At that time, Dewi's two employees refused to work in the office because they were worried about being exposed to the Covid-19 virus. Meanwhile, it was reported that Dewi had just traveled to Indonesia. Dewi was reportedly angry when she heard the attitude of two of her employees and then laid them off. "I'm also angry with all of you who treated me like a germ even though my test results were negative. You suffer from coronaphobia. I think I will never come to the office again because I can't work with you who have hurt my character," said Dewi.[1]

In March 2022, two of his fired employees filed a labor lawsuit against Dewi's office. For your information, the Japanese Labor Court is a system for resolving disputes through courts between workers and employers quickly and fairly. In August 2022, a litigation decision was made to require the two to pay a combined settlement fee of 6 million yen. However, Dewi reportedly objected to this, resulting in a lawsuit. The issue in the trial was whether or not the dismissal of the two former employees was legal. Dewi's party said that the two employees had a telephone conversation with Dewi's lawyer and clearly agreed to resign. In the conversation, Dewi's lawyer also reportedly admitted that the dismissal was illegal and committed to paying a sum of money to the two employees and accepting the mutually agreed resignation.[2]

Then the court accepted the two employees' plaintiff's lawsuit and decided that the dismissal was invalid, meaning that the employment relationship continued. Lawyer Ayao Masaki, a representative of Your Ace, a law firm that specializes in employment, said the two employees are no longer Dewi employees and have not received a salary since April 2021. One's monthly salary is 270,000 yen, while the other's is 300,000 yen. If wages cannot be paid according to the specified date, the salary paid is mandatory with 3% interest. "If you are unable to pay on the scheduled date, you will be asked to pay legal interest of 3% of the monthly salary that is due from the date of payment, with interest of 3% per year until paid which should have been paid on April 30 2021 is now almost 300,000 yen and interest," the report wrote.[3]

In other words, Dewi was ordered to pay a combined monthly salary of 570,000 yen and interest in full starting April 2021. In addition, when the claims for unpaid overtime wages of the two men were approved, the total amount to be paid by Dewi was approximately 29 million yen as of December 2024, when this decision was issued. Ultimately, the employee remains employed while the case is being fought in court, so the amount paid becomes larger as the trial drags on. Responding to the decision, Dewi admitted that there was no problem. "It's okay to lose!" said Dewi.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Fintech Synapse's Bankruptcy Leaves Thousands of Customers in the US at a Loss

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Gao And Kara: The Story of New Zealand Runaway Millionaire", "How to Change the Data on Your Land Certificate Due to the Impact of Regional Expansion", you may read also "Missing 22 Year Old Man Found Thanks to Google Earth" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Fintech Synapse's Bankruptcy Leaves Thousands of Customers in the US at a Loss'.

The bankruptcy of a fintech company called "Synapse" caused thousands of customers in America to suffer losses. Due to the impact of bankruptcy, many customer balances were lost. Even if totaled, the losses are said to reach trillions of rupiah. Synapse is a fintech providing a platform that allows other fintech companies, such as Yotta and Juno, to offer banking services without having to have their own banking license. However, Synapse suddenly closed and filed for bankruptcy in April 2024. At the same time, the company froze customer funds held at partner banks such as Evolve Bank, American Bank, AMG National Trust, and Lineage Bank.[1]

As a result, fintech customers who are members of the Synapse network cannot access balances of around US$ 265 million or Rp. 4.3 trillion (exchange rate of Rp. 16,248/US dollar) for more than six months. What's worse, after the partner bank succeeded in opening access to customer funds, around US$ 90 million or Rp. 1.46 trillion in customer funds were lost and their whereabouts are unknown. Regarding this, CNBC then spoke to dozens of customers who had lost their balance. These customers have savings ranging from US$ 7,000 (Rp. 113.73 million) to more than US$ 200,000 (Rp. 3.24 billion). Starting from FedEx couriers, small business owners, teachers, to dentists.[2]

A customer named Kayla Morris lost money worth US$ 282,153.87 or Rp. 4.58 billion. In the hearing regarding the claim for loss of funds, he said that his account was locked for six months after the problem occurred. At that time he hoped that his money was still safe. However, it turns out that his money may not be returned in full, because Evolve is said to only be paying US$ 500 or Rp. 8.12 million. "We were told that Evolve would only pay us $500 of my balance of $282,153.87. This was a complete mess," Morris said.[3]

Then there is also a customer named Andrew Meloan, a chemical engineer from Chicago, who claims to have savings of around US$ 200,000 in Yotta. However, so far, the money has only been returned from Evolve in the amount of US$ 5 or Rp. 81,240. "When I signed up, they gave me an Evolve account number. Now they say they only have $5 of my money, and the rest is somewhere else. I feel like I've been cheated," Meloan said.[4] 

A similar thing also happened to one of Yotta's customers, Zach Jacobs, who said he had savings of US$ 94,468.92 or Rp. 1.53 billion, but would only get a refund of US$ 128.68 or the equivalent of Rp. 2.09 million. Because of this, he started taking action to create an association with other victims called 'Fight For Our Funds'. This is done so that the victims can get more attention from the media and politicians. There were at least 3,454 people who registered with the group with total funds lost reaching US$ 30.4 million or Rp. 493.93 billion. This shows how massive the impact of Synapse's fintech bankruptcy is on customers in the US. Meanwhile Synapse and its partners, including Evolve Bank & Trust, are still blaming each other about improper balance transfers. "When you tell people this, it's like, 'There's no way this could happen'. But a bank just robbed us. This was the first great bank robbery in American history," Jacobs said.[5] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A husband and wife couple from New Zealand suddenly became billionaires and were living lavishly after the bank mistakenly transferred NZD 10 million or more than IDR 87.4 billion to their account. Their life story was later made into a film entitled "Runaway Millionaire". Their story began when Hui "Leo" Gao (the husband) applied for a NZD100,000 loan to Westpac bank to help his struggling gas station business in Rotorua, New Zealand, in 2009. The loan was approved by Westpac, but a bank employee made a mistake by adding a few zeros, Gao became an instant millionaire.[1]

Gao and his wife, Kara Hurring, were aware that the money was not theirs but apparently that didn't stop them from enjoying every piece of cash. Even at that time they decided to flee to China. Gao previously transferred US$ 6,782,000 of money belonging to the bank to his personal account before he and Hurring fled to China. Gao left first on 29 April 2009, with Hurring allegedly following suit on 3 May. However, until Gao and Hurring fled to China, the bank was still unaware of the error in transferring money to Gao's account. The bank only realized there was a transfer error in Gao's account on May 5 2009. After the bank realizes there is an error, the bank will try to get it back. Because Gao and Hurring had fled, the bank asked the authorities in New Zealand to arrest the couple.[2]

An international manhunt was finally launched with help from Interpol. Finally, Gao was arrested by Interpol when he was about to cross from China to Hong Kong in September 2011, two and a half years after Rotorua police launched an investigation. Gao's arrest came after an Interpol "red alert" appeared when he tried to cross the border from mainland China to Hong Kong. At that time, an Interpol warrant stated that Gao was wanted by the Rotorua District Court, New Zealand on charges of theft and money laundering. Therefore, at that time, Gao was immediately detained by the Hong Kong migration authorities. Gao then appeared before a committal judge at the Eastern Magistrates Court in Sai Wan in late September and was refused bail.[3]

Gao was returned to custody to appear in court again on October 28. He then arrived in New Zealand in the custody of two detectives in December 2011. Then, Gao was released on bail until sentencing on August 24 at Rotorua District Court. Meanwhile her partner Hurring spent 22 months in China before he was arrested in February after traveling back to Auckland to get his daughter Leena's passport. He was last month found guilty by a Rotorua District Court jury of 30 counts of theft, attempting to dishonestly use a bank card and international money laundering.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Regional expansion is the splitting of a province or district or city into two or more new regions. The impact of this regional expansion is that houses whose regional names change must update the information in their data. Including his land certificate. Secretary of the Directorate General of Determination of Land Rights and Registration (Sesditjen PHPT) Shamy Adrian said that the process of updating the address on this certificate will be free of charge. However, the community must take the initiative to submit it to the Land Office (Kantah) in each district or city. "This area change process is carried out at no cost. What is important is that the applicant can attach a certificate from the relevant sub-district, stating which sub-district the land in question is located in," explained Shamy Adrian.[1]

Regarding changes in address on land certificates due to regional expansion, it is regulated in Government Regulation (PP) Number 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. Article 36 in the PP states that maintenance of land registration data is carried out if there are changes to the physical data or juridical data of registered land registration objects. Then, rights holders are required to register these changes with Land Office (Kantah). Later the data on the certificate can be updated automatically in the system after being approved by the management at Land Office (Kantah).[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Missing 22 Year Old Man Found Thanks to Google Earth

A man has been missing for 22 years without a trace. Thanks to Google Earth, this person's whereabouts were discovered. William Moldt was reported missing from Lantana, Florida, on November 7, 1997. He did not return home after a night out. At around 21.30, the 40 year old man contacted his girlfriend to say he would be home soon. But apparently, that was the last contact between them.[1]

Then the police tried hard to find Moldt, but this case ended up being a cold case for more than two decades. Unexpectedly, in August 2019, a new bright spot where Moldt was located emerged. One day, someone was checking on his old house in the Grand Isles neighborhood of Wellington, Florida. When he looked at Google Earth, he saw something strange in a large pond. Curious, he zoomed in on Google Earth. He also saw an object that looked like a car and immediately contacted the person who lived in the house to check it.[2]

The homeowner, Barry Fay, then flew his drone over the area. It was there that he found a white car that had sunk. Fay rushed to report to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office. Not long after, the police arrived. When the car was towed and the door opened, they found skeletal remains that were later confirmed to be Moldt's body. "Obviously it had been in the water for a long time," police said. Meanwhile, Fay admitted that she assumed it was just an old car wreck. “I never believed there would be a 22-year-old body,” he admitted to The Palm Beach Post. Additional facts, it turns out that the car has been seen on Google Earth since 2007. This is based on the Charley Project report, an online database of unsolved cases in the US. However, it took 12 years for someone to find it.[3]

Previously, the sheriff's office told the BBC in 2019 that Moldt likely lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a pond. However, witnesses said he did not appear drunk when he left the nightclub. Police insist that when the investigation into Moldt's disappearance was first launched, the car was nowhere to be seen. Now, there is a change in the pool waters so that these vehicles can appear. "You can't say for sure what happened years ago, what happened," police spokeswoman Teri Barbera told the news site. "All we know is that he disappeared from the face of the earth, and now he has been found," he said.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Mary Jane was arrested at Adisutjipto Airport, Yogyakarta, in 2010 for carrying a suitcase containing 2.6 kilograms of heroin. The Sleman District Court Panel of Judges then sentenced him to death in October 2010. When he was about to be executed simultaneously in April 2015, a request for a postponement came from the Philippine Government. The postponement was proposed after Maria Cristina Sergio, who initially recruited and promised Mary Jane a job as a domestic helper in Malaysia, surrendered to the Philippine police. Cristina admits to framing Mary Jane as a drug courier.[1]

Chairman of the Indonesian Legal Aid Center (PBHI) Julius Hebrew said that Mary Jane was a victim of a criminal act of human trafficking and was not the main figure of a drug syndicate. According to Julius, the legal system in Indonesia does not provide enough space for Mary Jane to defend herself. When interrogated, Mary Jane was not accompanied by a translator or lawyer. "Her profile alone doesn't allow Mary Jane to have tens of billions in drugs. Even buying a plane ticket can't afford it," said Julius. "I've been accompanying him since 2015. What happened to his family in the Philippines, when I went back and forth to the Philippines. I saw that he couldn't afford to buy basic necessities every day. How can he have tens of billions of rupiah worth of things like that?" continued Julius.[2]

When this article was published, This woman from the Philippines who was sentenced to death in connection with a drug case in Indonesia has returned to her country.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Japan Asks Its Citizens To Write Cellphone Passwords And Applications In Wills

The National Consumer Affairs Center (NCAC), a private body that works with the Japanese government to protect consumer rights, advises Japanese citizens to share some data as "digital inheritance." It is recommended that the data be written down in the inheritance letter to prevent unnecessary use of digital services after they die. This recommendation was conveyed by NCAC, because many residents there tried to cancel subscriptions to services registered by those closest to them, before they died. Meanwhile, to cancel the service, you need a username and password which are usually kept secret from anyone.[1]

Therefore, NCAC advises Japanese citizens to share a number of digital data, including smartphone keys and certain account details, to make it easier to cancel digital services used during their lifetime. In more detail, NCAC recommends that the public take the following four steps:[2]

1. Make sure family members can unlock your smartphone or computer in case of an emergency.
2. Save your subscription list, user ID, and password. 
3. Consider entering those details into a document that can be accessed when you take your last breath. 
4. Use a service that allows you to designate someone to have access to your smartphone and other accounts after you die.

It is recommended that this recommendation be carried out now, considering that the process of completing the administration if the person concerned is gone takes quite a long time. Moreover, with the large number of smartphones used by each person, it can increase the complexity of completing the administration of each subscription service, as well as draining the credit card used for the subscription. Apart from making it easier to manage digital heritage, this recommendation is also considered to reduce the burden on data centers which ultimately minimizes environmental damage due to storage in the cloud.[3]

In Japan, the "Dead Man's Switch" application is available which allows users to determine which contacts can be contacted when they are detected as being inactive for a long time or are indicated to be dead.  Several digital platforms such as 'Meta' also provide a feature to close the accounts of deceased users, including on Facebook. Additionally, users can include legal contacts or heirs to manage the account when they die. Apple also has a similar feature, namely 'Legacy Contact', which allows users to assign someone to access their iCloud account data after they die. Unfortunately, not all platforms accommodate this feature. Apart from that, managing accounts will also be easier if you use a directly related account.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The founder of a Singapore oil trading company, Lim Oon Kuin, faced charges. Lim Oon Kuin was charged with defrauding HSBC bank out of millions of dollars. Lim Oon Kuin has been involved in the law since last May. He is considered to have damaged Singapore's reputation as a leading oil trading center in Asia. He owned a company called Hin Leong Trading, the largest oil trading company in Asia, before it collapsed in 2020. District Court Judge Toh Han Li is scheduled to sentence Lim today. Prosecutors demanded that Lim be sentenced to 20 years in prison.[1]

"This is one of the most serious cases of trade finance fraud ever prosecuted in Singapore," said the Public Prosecutor. Lim faced a total of 130 criminal charges involving hundreds of millions of dollars, but prosecutors tried and convicted him on only three counts. The second was charged with defrauding banking giant HSBC and the third for encouraging a Hin Leong executive to falsify documents. Prosecutors also said he tricked HSBC into disbursing almost US$ 112 million or the equivalent of IDR 1.7 trillion (exchange rate Rp. 15,850). The defendant told the bank that his company had signed oil sales contracts with two companies.[2]

"This transaction was actually a fabrication, made at the behest of the defendant. This seriously tarnishes Singapore's hard-earned reputation as a leading oil trading center in Asia," emphasized the prosecutor. As an additional information, Lim is now 83 years old. He founded the company in 1965. The company played a key role in helping Singapore become a leading ship refueling port in the world. However, this collapsed in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic plunged the oil market into unprecedented chaos.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Because of Criticizing Animal Care Centers, An Irish Tourist Arrested In Dubai

An Irish tourist didn't expect his holiday to end in disaster. It all started with online criticism of dog grooming companies. Craig Ballentine (33) worked as a dog groomer in Dubai for six months. She was having difficulty at work and left a negative online review about the treatment center and its experience. He then went on holiday to Abu Dhabi. However, when he arrived there, he was arrested by the authorities. A Detained in Dubai campaign group said that Ballentine faced prison time due to the UAE's cybercrime laws. Yes, the practice of online criticism is a cyber crime in the UAE.[1]

"Craig has been told by local lawyers that there is virtually no chance of the case against him being dropped," said Radha Stirling, a member of the organization. "The recently enacted cybercrime law in the UAE is a nightmare for foreigners. It is enough for a whistleblower to simply tell the police that someone posted something offensive or abusive," he said. Stirling said that Ballentine's parents were so worried that she didn't dare to give the news. Stirling even asked Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill to send a statement on his behalf. "Craig needs to go home and get to work. It's appalling that the authorities would allow such a frivolous crime report to ensnare visitors in the system," he said.[2]

"We have contacted Craig's local representative, Michelle O'Neill, to ask her to make a diplomatic statement to the UAE ambassador and the FCDO." Previously, the same case happened to Tori Towey. He was finally free after receiving help from O'Neill. "We hope he can help in the same way Ireland helped Tori Towey come home," he concluded.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

TEOFL Requirements for Civil Servant Candidate Tests Challenged to the Indonesia Constitutional Court

An Indonesian citizen named Hanter Oriko Siregar filed a lawsuit against the Law on Employment and the Law on State Civil Apparatus (ASN) to the Constitutional Court (MK). The lawsuit filed was related to the Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL). The lawsuit has been registered with case number: 159/PUU-XXII/2024. In his lawsuit, he asked the Constitutional Court to regulate that there is no longer a TOEFL requirement for Civil Servant Candidate tests or seeking work in private companies in Indonesia.[1]

He argued that the TOEFL requirement had prevented him from taking the CPNS/"Civil Servant Candidate" test at a number of agencies in 2024. He said there were agencies that made TOEFL with a minimum score of 450 an absolute requirement and had to be attached when registering for the CPNS/"Civil Servant Candidate" test. He also admitted that he could not achieve these requirements. He admitted that he had tried taking the test four times and the maximum score he got was 370.[2]

"That the application of conditions by requiring job seekers to master English well is proven by the existence of TOEFL as a mandatory and absolute requirement to be fulfilled as prospective CPNS/"Civil Servant Candidate" participants in each state/government agency as well as to apply for work in private agencies/companies as the Petitioner has mentioned in above is that it has harmed the Petitioner's constitutional rights which have been protected and guaranteed in Article 27 paragraph (1) and Article 28D paragraph (2), Article 28H paragraph (2), and Article 28I (2) of the Constitution of 1945 as the 1945 Constitution is the basis for all sources of law that apply in Indonesia," he said.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Massachusetts Court Jurisprudence: Wedding Ring Must Be Returned If Marriage is Void

Massachusetts' highest court recently ruled that an engagement ring worth US $ 70,000 or around IDR. 1 billion must be returned to its giver, without considering who caused the marriage to be annulled.  This case involves Bruce Johnson, who gave the diamond ring to Caroline Settino. Their relationship ended after Johnson found suspicious messages on Settino's cellphone. Johnson ultimately broke off the engagement after finding messages showing Settino's communications with another man.[1]

Initially, a lower court allowed Settino to keep the ring, finding Johnson had wrongly accused him of having an affair.  However, appeals courts, and ultimately the Massachusetts Supreme Court, reversed the ruling, stating that Johnson was entitled to get the ring back. The court explained that 'the engagement ring was a conditional gift related to the marriage agreement'.  If the marriage is annulled, the giver of the ring is entitled to its return, regardless of who was responsible for the end of the relationship. This ruling ends the long-standing standard of considering fault in determining entitlement to an engagement ring.[2]  

Following modern legal trends, Massachusetts courts have now joined most other jurisdictions in the US in rejecting the concept of fault in determining ownership rights to an engagement ring if the marriage is void.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
