Abstract

This study examines the application and limitations of employer liability for unlawful acts committed by subordinates under Article 1367 of the Indonesian Civil Code from the perspective of vicarious liability, focusing on the South Jakarta District Court Decision Number 237/Pdt.G/2022/PN Jkt.Sel. The research is motivated by the ambiguity of the phrase “in the course of assigned duties,” which has led to multiple interpretations and legal uncertainty in judicial practice. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings reveal that employer liability cannot be narrowly determined solely by the existence of a formal employment relationship or compliance with standard operating procedures, but must be assessed functionally based on delegated authority, inherent occupational risks, and the effectiveness of supervision grounded in good corporate governance principles. The analyzed decision demonstrates an expanded interpretation of Article 1367 of the Civil Code, whereby failures in supervision justify imposing liability on the employer even when the subordinate’s acts exceed formal authority. The novelty of this study lies in formulating criteria for limiting employer liability by integrating the doctrine of vicarious liability, delegation theory, and corporate governance principles as evaluative instruments. This study recommends the enactment of explicit legislation defining the boundaries of employer liability to ensure legal certainty and substantive justice.
