Pasal 17 ayat (2) UUAP yang memosisikan ultra vires sebagai spesies dari genus penyalahgunaan wewenang adalah tidak tepat. Ultra vires merupakan jenis sendiri dari bentuk penyimpangan penggunaan wewenang yang berbeda dari penyalahgunaan wewenang. Konsekuensi hukum tindakan ultra vires organ pemerintahan adalah batal demi hukum yang berarti sejak semula tindakan itu dan akibat hukumnya tidak memiliki eksistensi dalam hukum, bukan tidak sah sebagaimana ketentuan Pasal 70 ayat (1) UUAP. Tindakan organ pemerintahan yang batal demi hukum harus dideklarasikan dalam putusan peradilan tata usaha negara bahwa tindakan itu batal demi hukum dan tidak menciptakan atau mengubah keadaan hukum apapun.

Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi dua permasalahan dari diadopsinya asas praesumptio iustae causa dalam hukum acara peradilan tata usaha, pertama, justifikasi eksistensi asas tersebut, dan kedua, muatan putusan peradilan tata usaha negara yang tepat atas keputusan administrasi pemerintahan yang dianggap sah sampai pembatalannya. Untuk menjawab dua permasalahan tersebut digunakan tipe penelitian hukum doktrinal dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Justifikasi asas praesumptio iustae causa berasal dari tesis keterpisahan dalam positivisme hukum yang berpandangan bahwa keabsahan norma hukum dan pembatalannya dependen pada hukum itu sendiri. Norma hukum hanya akan kehilangan keabsahannya jika ada norma hukum baru yang mencabut keabsahan norma hukum sebelumnya. Muatan putusan peradilan tata usaha negara yang tepat untuk merespon keputusan administrasi pemerintahan yang dianggap sah sampai pembatalannya adalah menyatakan keputusan administrasi pemerintahan dapat dibatalkan yang berarti keputusan dan akibat hukumnya berakhir sejak dinyatakan demikian dalam putusan peradilan tata usaha negara. Kata kunci: asas praesumptio iustae causa; positivisme hukum; dapat dibatalkan
Chapter
From service management to vendor agreements, contracts take many forms. They establish partnership and accountability between parties and often require considerable negotiation before being finalized. Traditionally, a wide variety of contract types was created to fit the needs of contractors, supplies, and clients. These types vary according to the degree of risk sharing, timing, and responsibilities assumed by the contractor for the costs of performance; and the amount and nature of the profit incentive offered to the contractor for achieving or exceeding specified standards or goals. As we delve into the digital transformation era, various business aspects have been revisited. Innovation, transformation, and change management become major players in all business relations, and they need to be considered in the contracting arena as well. This chapter is discussing various types of traditional contracts specifying the differences of each type and how and when to utilize it. It also describes the pros and cons of each one.

Artykuł opisuje złożoną problematykę nieważności czynności prawnej w jurysdykcjach common law. W ramach oceny najnowszych tendencji dotyczącej proporcjonalnego i nowoczesnego modelu normatywnego sankcji nieważności bezwzględnej szczególną uwagę zwraca się na ustawową sankcję sędziowską ( structured discretion ) zaproponowaną w związku z reformą instytucji illegality i immorality w prawie umów (i innych czynności prawnych). Wpływ propozycji sankcji sędziowskiej na prawo polskie został ukazany na tle prac nad reformą sankcji illegality w niektórych krajach common law. Prace te wraz z bardzo cennymi materiałami zgromadzonymi w trakcie konsultacji miały także wpływ na kształt sankcji i jej proporcjonalizacji podczas opracowywania Common Frame of Reference. Przeanalizowano m. in. konieczne do poczynienia postępu w tej dziedzinie odejście od naturalistycznego postrzegania sankcji nieważności bezwzględnej w prawie prywatnym i rezygnacji z dogmatów wypracowanych jeszcze w czasach tzw. wielkich kodyfikacji XIX w. Dorobek nauki prawa i judykatury common law pokazuje jednoznacznie, że lakoniczna terminologia w normatywnych modelach sankcji nieważności bezwzględnej w kręgu ius civile wywarła negatywny wpływ na skuteczność i efektywność prawa.

It is not unusual for a Delaware corporations stock records to have omissions or procedural defects raising questions as to the valid authorization of sonic of the outstanding stock. Confronted with such irregularities, most corporate lawyers would likely attempt to cure the defect through board and, if necessary, stockholder ratification. However, in a number of leading cases, the Delaware Supreme Court has treated the statutory formalities for the issuance of stock as substantive prerequisites to the validity of the stock being issued, and the court has determined that failure to comply with such formalities renders the stock in question void, i.e., not curable by ratification. Unfortunately, the decisions issued by the Delaware courts have not afforded the necessary certainty to allow practitioners to decide whether a particular defect in stock issuance is a substantive defect that renders stock void or a mere technical defect that renders stock voidable. This Article analyzes the cases giving rise to this lack of clarity and proposes that the Delaware courts apply the policy underlying Article 8 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code to validate stock in the hands of innocent purchasers for value in determining whether stock is void or voidable.
