in the process of filling in data through the OSS system. This responsibility only covers clear and
specific actions as outlined in the power of attorney granted by the grantor. Thus, the notary is
only responsible within the limits of the tasks stated in the power of attorney, and for matters
that are outside of this scope, the notary does not bear responsibility.
Implementation of Sanctions for Notaries who Do not Carry out Responsibilities that have
been authorized by Business Actors in the Management of OSS
Notaries are public officials who have duties and authorities that must be carried out in
accordance with statutory regulations as a form of responsibility for the implementation of their
position (K. P. Putri, 2016). Liability arises when a person commits an act that violates the law
and causes harm to another party as stipulated in Article 1365 of the Civil Code; in this case, the
responsibility of the notary refers to the principle of fault-based liability, which requires the
notary to be accountable for all actions taken if there is evidence of negligence or error in the
performance of his duties (Amanda, 2023). The principle of fault-based liability must fulfill four
elements, namely (PAMSUKMAYANTI, 2022) :
1. The existence of a tort,
2. Error or negligence of the responsible party,
3. The loss incurred as a result of the act, and
4. Causal connection between the act and the harm caused.
This refers to a situation where a notary, as the recipient of a power of attorney granted
by a business actor as the grantor, does not complete the Business Identification Number (NIB)
of the business entity within the specified time, as stipulated in the power of attorney, which
can have implications for the smooth administrative process and legality of the business entity
concerned, this non-compliance causes losses to the grantor. Furthermore, if a notary makes a
mistake in entering data, such as the type of KBLI of a business entity through the OSS system,
it can potentially cause significant losses to business actors. Errors in inputting KBLI data may
result in a mismatch between the business activities carried out and the officially registered
category, which in turn may hinder business licenses, financing, or other aspects related to
administrative compliance, in which case, the notary must be held accountable for errors that
occur in the performance of his/her duties based on a power of attorney received.
The granting of power of attorney to a notary to manage a business license is a valid and
binding agreement as long as it does not violate the provisions stipulated in the applicable law,
as stipulated in Article 1795, which means that the authority of the notary in managing the
business license is valid, covering the entire series of processes starting from the initial stage of
creating an account, uploading the required documents, to the final stage of issuing a business
license, all of which are carried out in accordance with the wishes of the business actor, if the
power of attorney agreement conflicts with the laws and regulations, it can result in a power of
attorney becoming invalid or null and void.
