construction contract, contract termination, unlawful actsAbstract
between service providers and users in construction projects, requiring legal certainty, accountability, and a balance of rights and obligations. However, in practice, users often terminate contracts unilaterally on the grounds of default, which actually harms providers and triggers debates about the boundary between default and unlawful acts. Supreme Court Case No. 4/Yur/Pdt/2018 confirms that termination without a valid legal basis constitutes an unlawful act that gives rise to liability. This study uses a normative legal method with a legislative, conceptual, and case approach to the Civil Code, Law 2/2017 on Construction Services, Law 30/2014 on Government Administration, and the Pekanbaru Administrative Court decision No. 21/G/2023/PTUN. PBR and South Jakarta District Court No. 311/Pdt.G/2014/PN Jkt. Sel., and finds differences in the determination of absolute competence between civil and administrative courts, which creates legal uncertainty. Outside of litigation, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are available, such as mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and the construction dispute council as regulated by Law 2/2017. Therefore, regulatory harmonisation and the application of fair liability principles are necessary so that the resolution of construction contract disputes provides protection and certainty for all parties.
