Consumer Protection Law Amendment Process Set to Commence

The Head of the Legislation Drafting Center (“Center”) at the Indonesian House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – "DPR"), Lidya Suryani Widayati, has affirmed that Commission VI at the DPR has assigned the Center to draft the academic script for the forthcoming amendment to Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection (“Law 8/1999”).
According to University of Gajah Mada Faculty of Law lecturer, Irna Nurhayati, numerous dynamics have come into play over the past two decades that have made various provisions originally set out under Law 8/1999 irrelevant to current requirements and technological developments. Nurhayati further elaborated that the provisions which require revision include certain provisions that relate to standard clauses (klausula baku), as well as provisions that address certain specific sectors relating to consumer protection, either structurally or systematically (e.g. the advertising sector).
In addition, Nurhayati has also highlighted several matters that must be accommodated under the forthcoming amendment to Law 8/1999, specifically: 1) Cross-border consumer protection across the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the extraterritoriality principle; 2) Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) during the settlement of online consumer disputes; 3) The responsibilities of business actors/relevant parties during e-commerce transactions, as well the provision of information security systems and personal data protection; 4) Differentiation between consumer protection relating to goods and services, as well the responsibilities of the relevant business actors in relation to both of these areas.
