Resolution of Disputes Regarding Duplicate Land Ownership Certificates

Abstract

The issuance of land title certificates often entails legal consequences not only for the titleholders but also for parties whose interests are adversely affected. Consequently, this study further examines the regulations governing the resolution of disputes involving multiple certificates for the same land ownership under Indonesian land law, as well as the specific resolution of such a dispute as adjudicated in District Court Decision Number 18/Pdt.G/2018/PN Nab. A normative-juridical research method was employed. In principle, land dispute resolution can be pursued through two avenues: litigation (court proceedings) or out-of-court settlement; the resolution of the multiple-certificate dispute in District Court Decision Number 18/Pdt.G/2018/PN Nab was found to be consistent with applicable legal principles and the facts established during the trial.
