Applicable Legislation
Much of the 1848 Civil and Commercial Codes of Indonesia
is still in effect at the present time. However, pursuant to the
opinion published in 1962 by Dr. Suhardjo, Minister of Justice, and
later confirmed in an official circular issued by the Supreme Court,
these Codes should not be considered strict codifications of the law,
but simply as guides or commentaries to assist the cour:s in arriving
at judgments.

and checks are contained in Book I. of the.Commercial Code.
