Curator's Immunity Right Against Civil Claims In The Management Of Bankruptcy Boedel

Abstract

The uncertainty of legal protection for curators in executing the settlement of bankrupt estates, who often face civil lawsuits. Although curators perform their duties based on court orders, they are not equipped with adequate immunity rights like other legal professions, such as advocates and notaries. The right to immunity is a freedom and or immunity of the curator profession from all lawsuits in carrying out the administration of bankruptcy assets as long as it is carried out in good faith. The lack of immunity for the curator has the effect of disrupting the task of administering the bankruptcy estate. This study aims to analyze the regulations regarding immunity rights for legal professions in Indonesia and the implementation of curatorial immunity in facing civil lawsuits. The research employs a normative juridical method with a legislative and analytical approach. The findings of this research indicate that, despite the crucial role curators play in the bankruptcy process, there is no explicit regulation providing immunity rights against civil lawsuits. There is a need for revisions to the applicable laws so that the immunity rights of curators can be clearly and comprehensively regulated, thereby providing legal certainty, utility, and justice for curators in carrying out the settlement of bankrupt estates. The findings offered are to revise the Bankruptcy Law to add a regulation on Curator immunity, or make a special regulation on the Curator Profession by including the Right to Immunity, or establish a joint ethics board as a performance supervisor by the curator.
