Abstract

In execution auctions, delivering auctioned assets to the winning bidder is not merely a procedural formality but constitutes a fundamental legal obligation that directly affects fairness, legal certainty, and the overall integrity of the enforcement system. Although the auction itself may have been formally concluded, various problems frequently occur at the post-auction stage, such as prolonged delays in delivery, outright refusal to hand over assets, or the emergence of legal ambiguities regarding the scope of responsibility among different actors. These issues not only undermine public trust in the auction mechanism but also diminish the value of judicial enforcement as a means of protecting rights and upholding justice. This article specifically examines the legal responsibilities of execution auction sellers, particularly courts, bailiffs, and other appointed officials, in ensuring that the transfer of assets to winning bidders proceeds effectively and without obstruction. Employing a justice-based legal approach, the study combines doctrinal analysis with comparative insights by referencing practices in Indonesia and selected civil law jurisdictions, including Germany and the Netherlands. Such comparison highlights structural weaknesses in Indonesia’s regulatory framework, which insufficiently safeguards the rights of winning bidders once the auction has concluded. The findings suggest that legal reform is urgently needed to harmonize procedural law with the principles of fairness, effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Strengthening legal clarity and enforcement mechanisms would not only protect buyers but also reinforce the legitimacy of execution auctions as instruments of justice within the broader system of business law.
