as much as possible. Bankruptcy is a priori considered a failure caused by the fault
of the debtor in carrying out his business, causing the debt to be unable to be paid.
Therefore, bankruptcy is often identified as debt default or embezzlement of rights
that should be paid to creditors. Kartono stated that bankruptcy does not demean
his dignity as a human being, but when he tries to obtain credit, it is there that he
feels what it means to have been declared bankrupt. In other words, bankruptcy
affects his "creditwaardigheid" in the sense that it is detrimental to him, he will
not easily get credit.3
The purpose of the bankruptcy act is (1) to protect creditors from one
another, (2) to protect creditors from their debtor, and (3) to protect the
honest debtor from his creditors. To accomplish these objectives, the
debtor is required to make full disclosure of all his property and to
surrender it to the trustee. Provisions are made for examination of the
debtor and for punishment of the debtor who refuses to make an honest
disclosure and surrender of his property. The trustee of the bankcrupt’s
estate administers, liquidates, and distributes the proceeds of the estate to

creditors. Provisions are made for determination of creditors rights, the
recovery of preferential payments, and the disallowance of preferential
liens and encumbrances. If the bankcrupt has been honest in his business
transactions and in his bankcruptcy proceedings, he is granted a
discharge.5
The word bankruptcy comes from the French "failite" which means
payment jam. In Dutch the term "failliet" is used. While in Anglo American law,
the law is known as the Bankcruptcy Act.

report or at the request of someone or more owed (creditor), with a judge's
decision declared in a state of bankruptcy".

"A debtor who has two or more creditors and does not pay at least one debt that
has matured and is collectible, is declared bankrupt by a decision of the competent
Court as referred to in Article 2, either at his own request or at the request of one
or more creditors.

carried out under the supervision of the authorities. However, excluded from
bankruptcy are:
1. All income from the bankrupt debtor during the bankruptcy is from his
own work, salary for a position/service, pension wages, waiting
fee/benefits, only or to the extent that this is applied by the supervisory
judge.
2. Money given to a bankrupt debtor to fulfill the obligation to provide a
living according to the laws and regulations (articles 213,225, 321 of the
Civil Code).
3. The amount of money determined by the supervisory judge from the
income from the right to enjoy proceeds as referred to in Article 311 of the
Civil Code).
4. Allowances from the income of their children received by the bankrupt
debtor based on article 318 of the Civil Code.
If the creditor takes the first route, namely through a civil lawsuit, then
only the interests of the creditor/plaintiff are satisfied with the debtor's property
which is confiscated and then executed for the fulfillment of the receivables from
the creditor, other creditors who do not file a lawsuit are not protected. It is a
different matter if the creditors request that the court declare the debtor bankrupt,
then with the conditions of bankruptcy, there is a general confiscation of all the
assets of the debtor and since then all confiscations that have been carried out
previously, if any, will be void.

property, not his person. So he is still capable of carrying out legal actions outside
the law of wealth, for example rights as a family, rights arising from his position
as parents, mothers for example. So that's actually the essence of bankruptcy.

Law No. 37 of 2004 consists of 308 articles which are divided into 7
chapters namely:
Chapter I : General Provisions (article 1)
Chapter II : Bankruptcy (article 2- Article 221)
Chapter III : Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) (article
222-article 294)
Chapter IV : Request for Judicial Review (article 295-article 298)
Chapter V : Other Provisions (article 299-article 303)
Chapter VI : Transitional Provisions (article 304-article 305)
Chapter VII : Closing Provisions (article 306-article 308)

a. There are so many formalities that it is difficult to implement
b. High cost
c. The influence of creditors is too little on the course of bankruptcy
d. It takes a long time
Because of this, new rules were made, which were simple and didn't need a lot of
money, so the Faillissements Verordening (S.1905-217) was born to replace the 2
(two) Bankruptcy Rules.
For the original Indonesian group (indigenous) they can use this
Faillisements Verordening by submitting themselves. During this period for
bankruptcy, the Faillisementes Verordening 1905-217 applies to everyone,
namely both traders and non-traders, both individuals and legal entities.
In the end after the entry into force of Fv. S. 1905 No. 217 jo S. 1906 No.
348, the Republic of Indonesia is able to make its own bankruptcy regulations
(although they are still patchy in nature), namely there are already 3 (three) laws
and regulations which are products of national law: starting from the issuance of
Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (PERPU) No. 1 of 1998 concerning
Amendments to the Law on Bankruptcy which was later upgraded to Law no. 4 of
10
1998 and finally on November 18, 2004, it was further refined by Law No. 37 of
2004 concerning Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment Obligations.
a. The validity period of Perpu No. 1 of 1998 and UUK No. 4 Year 1998
11
So from the date the law was enacted, the Bankruptcy Law applies, which
in principle is still just a patchwork of the previous rules, namely the Bankruptcy
Regulations or FV.
Whereas the monetary crisis that hit Asian countries including Indonesia
since mid-1997 has caused great difficulties for the national economy and trade.
The ability of the business world to develop its business is severely disrupted,
even to maintain the continuity of its business activities is also not easy, this
greatly affects the ability to meet its debt payment obligations. This situation
results in the emergence of a series of problems, which if not resolved
immediately will have a wider impact, including the loss of employment
opportunities and other social problems.
There are several factors that need regulation regarding bankruptcy and
postponement of debt payment obligations, namely to avoid:
1) Conquest of the Debtor's assets if at the same time there are several
Creditors who collect their receivables from the Debtor.
12
2) Creditors holding material security rights who claim their rights by selling
the Debtor's property without taking into account the interests of the Debtor or
other Creditors.
3) Frauds committed by one of the Creditors or Debtors themselves.
For example, the debtor tries to give an advantage to one or several creditors so
that other creditors are harmed, or there is a fraudulent act on the part of the
debtor to take away all of his assets with the intention of releasing his
responsibilities to creditors.
Some of the new subject matter in the Law on Bankruptcy and Suspension
of Obligations for Payment of Debt, among others:
According to article 1131: all the debtor's property, both movable and
immovable, both existing and new in the future, become dependents for all
individual engagements.
13
Article 1132: The property becomes a mutual guarantee for all those who
owe it; The income from the sale of the objects is divided according to the
balance, that is, according to the size of the receivables of each, unless there are
valid reasons for the creditors to take precedence.
The two articles above provide a guarantee of certainty to creditors that the
debtor's obligations will still be fulfilled / paid off with guarantees from the
debtor's assets, both existing and those that will still exist in the future. Article
1131 of the Civil Code and 1132 of the Civil Code is a manifestation of the
principle of guarantee of certainty payment for transactions that have been made.
The relationship between the two articles is as follows: that the debtor's
wealth (article 1131 of the Civil Code) is a mutual guarantee for all creditors
(article 1132 of the Civil Code) proportionally, except for creditors with
preemptive rights (preference rights).
The Civil Code and 1132 of the Civil Code are that the law regulates the
right to collect creditors or creditors for their transactions with debtors.
1. Bankruptcy as a guarantee institution to its creditors that the debtor will not
commit fraud, and remains responsible for all his debts to all his creditors.
2. It also provides protection to debtors against the possibility of mass execution
by their creditors.
14
From that arose the Bankruptcy institution, which seeks to establish a fair
procedure regarding the payment of debts to all creditors in the manner ordered by
article 1132 of the Civil Code. So articles 1131 and 1132 of the Civil Code are the
legal basis for bankruptcy.
In the old laws, namely the Faillisement Verordening (FV) and Law No. 4
of 1998 concerning Bankruptcy, it was not specifically regulated, but in Law No.
37 of 2004, namely the Law concerning Bankruptcy and Suspension of
Obligations for Payment of Debt, in its explanation it states that the existence of
the Law on Bankruptcy and Suspension of Obligations for Payment of Debt This
law is based on a number of bankruptcy principles namely;
This law regulates several provisions which are the embodiment of the
principle of balance, i.e. on the one hand, there are provisions that can prevent
abuse of bankruptcy institutions and institutions by dishonest debtors, on the other
hand, there are provisions that can prevent abuse of institutions and institutions.
bankruptcy by creditors who do not have good faith.
In this Law, there are provisions that allow prospective Debtor companies to
continue to operate.
5. Principle of Justice
The principle of integration in this law implies that the formal legal system
and material law are an integral part of the civil law system and national civil
procedural law.
