Language Law Seminar

Under Article 31 of Law No. 24 of 2009 on National Flag, Language, Emblem and Anthem ("Language Law"), there is a statutory obligation to use Indonesian language in contracts involving an Indonesian party.

In view of that, the Supreme Court resolved in its Circular Letter No. 3 of 2023 that a contract between an Indonesian private entity or individual and a foreign party should not be cancelled by the courts on the grounds of absence of an Indonesian language version, as long as the absence is not caused by a party acting in bad faith. The Supreme Court's opinion comes at a time when there is an increasing number of court claims seeking to cancel contracts solely due to the absence of an Indonesian version of the underlying contract.
 
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming seminar where our lawyers will discuss the topic in more detail. The seminar will take a closer look at what this Supreme Court opinion means to existing and future contracts where the statutory obligation to use Indonesian language applies.
 
To accommodate participants from outside Jakarta, we will provide a Zoom link closer to the date; however, we encourage you to attend the event at our office to get a chance to meet with the speakers directly. Please click on the RSVP button below to confirm your attendance.
