Civil Liability In Business Contract Disputes: Implications For Investor Confidence

Abstract

Business contracts are an important instrument in ensuring legal certainty for business actors. However, in practice, quite a few disputes arise due to non-performance or violations of the contents of the agreement. This research aims to analyze forms of civil liability in resolving business contract disputes and their impact on investor confidence. By using a normative juridical approach and literature study, this research finds that the existence of an effective and executable civil liability mechanism is a key factor in creating a conducive investment climate. Weaknesses in contract law enforcement, such as slow or inconsistent execution of decisions, can reduce investors' interest in investing in a country. Therefore, strengthening the civil law system, especially in handling contractual disputes, is an urgent need to support national economic growth.
