Implementation of the Contradictory Delimitation Principle in the Transfer of Land Rights Through Sale and Purchase in Denpasar City
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study analyzes the implementation of the contradictory delimitation principle in the transfer of land rights through sale and purchase in Denpasar City and formulates solutions to problems arising when the principle is not optimally applied. This empirical legal study employs statutory, conceptual, and empirical juridical approaches. Data were collected through interviews with Land Office officials, Land Deed Officials (PPAT), sellers, and buyers, supported by observation, documentation, and a literature review, and were analyzed qualitatively. The findings show that remeasurement is not automatically conducted for every certified parcel. The contradictory delimitation principle is activated as a corrective mechanism when certificate verification, plotting verification, or field inspection raises doubts concerning the parcel's location, area, shape, or boundaries. Its application includes installing boundary markers, involving adjoining landowners, conducting measurement or boundary re-establishment, and updating land data. The principal obstacles are difficulties in securing the attendance of adjoining landowners, missing boundary markers, discrepancies in physical data, time and cost constraints, and limited public understanding. An appropriate resolution follows a staged mechanism: pre-deed prevention, deliberation, remeasurement, boundary re-establishment, land mediation, data updating, and litigation as a last resort.
