time he is also fully responsible for all his actions by determining whether a legal action
can be included in the deed. (Supriadi, 2023)
Examination of the Notary must be based on the procedure for making a Notary deed,
namely (Adjie, 2011):
a. Perform identification of appeasers, based on the identity shown to the Notary;
b. Understand the wishes or desires of the parties (question-and-answer);
c. Checking evidence of letters related to the wishes or wishes of the parties;
d. Giving advice and creating a deed framework to meet the wishes of the parties;
It is. Fulfill all administrative techniques for making notarial deeds, such as reading,
signing, giving copies and filing of minutes deed; And
f. Carry out other obligations related to the implementation of Notary duties.
A notarial deed that is canceled by a court decision does not mean the result of a notary's
mistake in making the deed, but can also be caused by an error or negligence of the
parties resulting in a lawsuit from one of the parties who feel aggrieved. In the Decision
of the South Jakarta District Court Number: 782/PDT.G/2020/PN JKT.SEL which was
decided on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, is a cancellation of the Notary deed caused by an
error by one of the parties and the decision has legal consequences for the Co-Defendant
I as a Notary, namely in the form of Sale and Purchase Agreement Deed Number 12
dated October 9, 2019, Deed of Emptying Agreement Number 13 dated October 9, 2019,
and Deed of Power of Attorney to Sell Number 14 dated October 9 2019 which must be
declared legally disabled and do not have binding legal force, the role of Notary in
making the deed only put the interests of the parties into the deed.
In principle, if a notarial deed is made in compliance with the regulations stipulated by
laws and regulations and fulfills the formal requirements, then the deed cannot be
canceled. However, in this case, the deeds were drawn up based on false information
provided by the Defendants for a sale and purchase transaction object The land and of
course, the cancellation of the deed has an impact on third parties, namely Co-Defendant
II as the buyer and the responsibility for this incident is not borne by the Notary because
the Notary has carried out his duties in accordance with applicable regulations and
therefore the Notary cannot be prosecuted for the making of the deed made based on
false information.
Deeds that are declared null and void, can be canceled and non-existent are the same
thing, that is, they both result in an agreement becoming invalid, as for the differences
between them is as follows (Mulyoto, 2012):
1. Null for the sake of law, namely the legal action has no legal consequences since the
existence of a legal action based on a court decision that has permanent legal force
because it does not meet objective requirements;
2. Can be canceled, namely the legal action has no legal consequences since the
cancellation. The canceled deed can still be valid and binding on the parties if there is
no court decision that has the permanent legal force to cancel the deed;
3. Non-existent, namely those caused by not fulfilling the essential elements of an
agreement, and in practice it requires a court decision that has permanent legal force
with the same implications as being null and void.
Co-Defendant I as the maker of the deed is obliged to be responsible for his negligence
by complying with the court's decision to cancel the deed. However, if the fault lies with
the notary who was involved in making the deed intentionally based on the false
statement, then the aggrieved party can file a lawsuit against the notary's actions by
being able to prove that there was a mistake made by the notary which caused a loss and
