Legal Relations and Responsibilities between Grantor and Grantee of Director’s Attorney in the Implementation of Procurement of Government Goods and/ or Services (Study of the Decision of the Mataram District Court Number: 33/PID.SUS.TPK/2015/PN.MTR)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the legal relations between grantor and grantees of director’s attorney in the procurement of goods/ services based on the decision of the Mataram District Court Number: 33/PID.SUS.TPK/2015/PN.MTR. This study is a normative study that uses legislative, case, and conceptual approaches and uses primary and secondary legal materials. The research results lead to one conclusion. If it is associated with Article 1338 and 1320 of the Civil Code, legal relations between grantor and grantee of director’s attorney are created when they have agreed to enter into an agreement. However, the agreement they made is not necessarily considered valid because the agreement of the director's attorney made by the two defendants including the nominee agreement in the procurement of government goods/ services is a matter which is not allowed to be carried out by business actors as the provider; moreover, it can be considered as an attempt to smuggle the law because it is considered not to fulfill one of the legal requirements of the agreement namely the existence of a cause or causal that is lawful and considered to be contrary to the principle of good faith in the agreement. Thus, the agreement of the director’s attorney made by the two defendants is null and void.
