Meanwhile, other business entities, such as limited liability companies, cooperative enterprises have issued laws. Meanwhile, for the insurance business as promised Article 7 paragraph (3) of Insurance Business until now not yet exist," said Zairin.

To the petition, the judge panel suggestions for improvement request. Akil suggested Petitioners removing the fourth petition for changing the content / editorial article is not the authority of the Court. Akil also advised Petitioner that weigh her appeal by saying if the petition is granted related to the provision of Insurance Business, did Petitioner still suffered constitutional losses. "Legal standing there must be constitutional, constitutional, there must be a causal relationship, and it must also be constitutional specific specialty. And with granted this petition, constitutional loss was nothing, it is normative. But it must be coupled," Akil suggestion.

Meanwhile, Ariel suggested that the applicant modify any Joint legal status to Private Legal Venture. "It could have also fellow policyholders an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) to change its legal entity status to private legal entities. If everyone agrees, it could also happen, right? Instead of waiting for legislation or government regulation that does not exist," said Arief. (Yusti Nurul Agustin / mh)
