Omnibus Law Verdict Has Its Snowballing Effect
Summary
- The government is now facing complicated issues following the Constitutional Court verdict on the omnibus law for job creation. The now-flawed and conditionally unconstitutional law opens another possible lawsuit against the Omnibus Law for Tax Regulations Harmonization and could hinder capital inflow.
- The issuance of Regulation in Lieu of Law to revise the Law for Legislative Regulations can be a shortcut to resolve one of the problems in the Omnibus Law: the absence of a legal basis for the omnibus law concept.
- The Omnibus Law for Job Creation may still end up in a permanent unconstitutional or undergo substance revision as the amendment to the law will occur amid growing party interests to gain public sympathy as the presidential and legislative elections draw near.
