The Existence of Notaries in the Drafting of Peace Deeds as A Dispute Resolution Process: Case Study in East Lombok, Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to determine the authority of a notary in making a peace deed and the legal force of the peace deed made by the notary. The research method used is normative and empirical legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and sociological approach. The types of data used are secondary data and primary data. Secondary data is library data sourced from primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Primary data is field data sourced from interviews regarding the existence of a peace deed. The conclusion obtained from the research conducted is that a Notary has the legal authority to make a peace deed because a peace deed is one form of authentic deed where the position of a notary is a state official who has the authority to make authentic deeds as regulated in Article 2 § 1 of Law No 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law No 30 of 2004 concerning the Position of Notary. However, the law does not specifically regulate the making of peace deeds by notaries; notaries can make their peace deeds because peace deeds are authentic.
