Abstract
Social justice is an essential issue in the development of Indonesian law of the 21st century. Consumer protection is an aspect of social justice because it maintains "equality of arms" between suppliers and consumers. The more technological developments are integrated into social life and thus also into the business competition process, the greater the importance of consumer protection becomes, because the use of disruptive technologies, for example artificial intelligence, can shift the balance between providers and consumers in favour of economically strong providers. This will lead to the need to redefine the position of consumer protection in the Indonesian legal system. Law No. 8/1999 on Consumer Protection in its current form follows a rather ambiguous systematic approach by not clearly distinguishing between individual and social-functional protection purposes of consumer protection. The article argues for creating the methodological framework for a possible revision of the Indonesian consumer protection law with a strong integration of cultural-empirical and scientific-systematic viewpoints.
Highlights
Topics related to social justice nowadays are frequent in conferences on social science and humanities in Indonesia
The consequence of the introduction of insufficiently adapted legal norms can be an erosion of the acceptance of the norms in social reality and a far-reaching inconsistency of the legal system, especially if the substantive legal situation is not accompanied by functioning instruments of law enforcement
I was describing competition law motivated consumer protection in this sense as a relevant factor of social justice in Indonesia (Koos, 2015 & 2017). Based on this the social-functional approach was linked to the situation of the consumer protection law in Indonesia Invalid source specified
Summary
Law enforcement and their connections with the interdisciplinary question of social justice are crucial factors for the development of a society and the more the economic development of Indonesia proceeds, the more the questions for the modernization of the law in the light of the internationalization arises. The development of law through the adoption of foreign legal norms is problematic if it is not carried out consistently and if it is not accompanied by basic academic research. This leads to a methodological problem in some comparative law studies. The paper seeks to promote scientificity, interdisciplinarity and cultural relevance in future legal designs
