Jakarta, May 2025. Our firm has successfully defended our clients, PT Country Garden Real Estate Indonesia and PT Sunny Garden Indonesia, as Defendants, prominent real estate development companies, in a dispute concerning the alleged termination of a promotional cooperation agreement.
We have assisted our Clients to have won on the first stage and appeal stage. For the cassation stage, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia has also rejected the cassation filed by the Claimant. Therefore, all the three stages of the court have ruled in favor of our Clients.
The Claim was essentially about the binding nature of a contract which according to our Clients, it was yet to be binding since both parties have still negotiated the terms and conditions of the agreement. The Judex Juris argues that the decision by the High Court of Jakarta and District Court of Jakarta Barat were not incorrect in applying the law. They argue that there is no prove showing that there exists an agreement except for negotiation between the parties. Thus, they decline the cassation request.
Asked for his comments, Dr. Eddy M. Leks says, “We are grateful for these wins. We learn that to claim for a breach of contract, an existence of contract must be proven. When there is no contract, no binding legal relationship, means no breach of contract. This is the essence of the legal arguments by Judex Facti and Judex Juris.”
Leks&Co is a recommended firm on commercial dispute resolution by Legal500, asialaw, and Benchmark Litigation.
