The Prohibition of Leaving the Position of a Notary With in 7 (Seven) Consecutive Days Is a Nonsense Reason

Abstract

The prohibition rule regarding "leaving the area of office for more than 7 (seven) working days" actually has 1 (one) prohibition rule which according to this journal is unreasonable and is not in accordance with the theory of utilitarianism (usefulness/benefits). The purpose of writing is to analyze the prohibition on leaving a Notary's position within 7 (seven) consecutive days for nonsense reasons and provide input for solutions. The approach method in this research uses normative juridical. Data collection was carried out through library research studies. Processing of this research data with secondary data is divided into primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. The results of this research, researchers provide conclusions and suggestions that these regulations cannot adapt to developments in the 4.0 era in Indonesia. That is why the legal regulations prohibiting Advocates (Lawyers) in Indonesia do not regulate this matter because it is deemed not to provide benefits for Advocates. Why not remove this rule because with the difference in city location between the Notary and the client it is enough to communicate using the internet, either WhatsApp, or Facebook, or email, or Google Cloud. So that a Notary who is not in a fixed place is considered to be able to complete the required work because the laptop device can be taken anywhere, to any city, to any country, so there is no reason for the slightest use/benefit of the arrangement "leaving the area of office more than 7 (seven) working days".
