The Need for Regulation of Product Information Disclosure Outside the Consumer Protection Law

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relation of information disclosure to the role of law as a tool of social engineering and social control and to examine the reasons for the judge’s legal considerations related to information disclosure in the Constitutional Court Decision Number 65 /PUU-XIII/2015. This research uses a normative method. The results of this study show a relationship between legal norms and economic values, so legal binding is needed to accommodate consumer rights. The Consumer Protection Law was established to manipulate and control the trade cycle to create security, certainty, and safety, especially for consumers, against the behavior of business actors. The Consumer Protection Law Number 8 of 1999 has accommodated the rights of consumers. The capacity of the article in the Constitutional Court Decision Number 65 /PUU-XIII/2015 cannot regulate each type of goods or service in detail because of the broad aspects of the trade. The regulation regarding exact addresses is regulated outside the Consumer Protection Law.
