Abstract

Therefore, clear and firm arrangements are needed regarding the responsibility of the instrument witness in maintaining the confidentiality of the contents of the deed, as well as providing legal consequences for the violation, in order to avoid potential losses from related parties and suppress the emergence of problems that can harm the reputation and integrity of the notary profession. This study is a normative study that studies the purpose of law, the values of justice, the validity of the rule of law, legal concepts, and legal norms. Normative legal research can also be said as a process to find the rule of law, legal principles, and legal doctrines in order to answer the legal issues faced. It can also be said that legal research is carried out to produce arguments, theories, or concepts as prescriptions or answers to the problems faced. Witness instrument has an important role in making a notarial deed, especially to meet the formal requirements that make a notarial deed as an authentic deed with perfect evidentiary power. Instrument witnesses, who are generally notary employees, are in charge of ensuring the correctness of the identity of the parties, witnessing the reading of the deed, as well as signing the deed with the parties. In addition, the instrument witness is obliged to maintain the confidentiality of the contents of the notarial deed. Legal protection for Instrumentalist witnesses when testifying in court is currently still not set firmly and thoroughly, causing a legal vacuum (vacuum norm). In fact, this protection is important so that witnesses are free from pressure or intimidation, and can still carry out their duties according to notary orders. Witness instruments also have the right to protection from the witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) which includes the protection of self, family, and property. However, this protection is more general and has not specifically regulated the position of instrument witnesses as notary employees.
