PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP NOTARIS YANG TIDAK DIBAYARKAN HONORARIUM

Abstract

In carrying out their duties, notaries are often faced with a condition where the client who does the deed before them does not pay the honorarium, which should be the right of the notary. UUJN and UUJN-P also do not give the notary the authority to withhold deeds that the notary has completed, but the client has not paid the honorarium. This study analyzes the characteristics of the regulation of notary honorariums and legal protection for notary honorariums. This study is a normative legal study using a statutory and conceptual approach. The study's results indicate that the characteristics of the current regulation of notary honorariums are that the maximum limit of notary honorariums is regulated in UUJN. In contrast, the minimum limit is regulated in the Notary Code of Ethics. The Notary Code of Ethics has determined that the organization determines the minimum limit of notary honorariums. UUJN and UUJN-P do not regulate the right of retention for notaries for honorariums that have not been paid by the person appearing, so in this case, there is no legal protection given to the notary. The legal protection notaries can carry out at this time is preventive by first requesting that the honorarium be provided before the deed is done.
