Almas Tsaqibbirru Gugat Gibran atas Perkara Wanprestasi, Diminta Bayar Rp10 Juta

Almas Tsaqibbirru sues Gibran for Breach of Contract, Ordered to Pay Rp10 Million.

Dream - Still remember Almas Tsaqibbirru, a student from the Faculty of Law at Surakarta University (UNSA)? Some time ago, he filed a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding the age limit requirement for presidential and vice presidential candidates. Almas' lawsuit was partially granted by the MK and resulted in Gibran Rakabuming Raka becoming Prabowo Subianto's running mate in the 2024 presidential election.

"After a long silence, Almas is now suing Gibran in the Surakarta District Court (PN). According to the information on the Case Tracking Information System (SIPP) of the Surakarta District Court, Almas Tsaqibbirru's breach of contract lawsuit against Gibran is registered with case number 25/Pdt.G/2024/PN Skt."

Quoting the OCBC NISP website, "Wanprestasi is an act of breach of promise by one party in a valid legal agreement as a result of their negligence, causing them to be unable to fulfill their obligations."

This term is taken from the Dutch language 'wanprestatie' which means the failure to fulfill achievements or obligations in an agreement. According to the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language, wanprestasi is a situation where one party who agreed to the agreement has poor performance due to negligence. The wanprestasi lawsuit was filed by Almas on January 29, 2024, with the first session scheduled. Meanwhile, the panel of judges at the Surakarta District Court initially rejected the first lawsuit with a similar intention as case number 2/Pdt.G/2024/PN Skt, which was filed on January 22, 2024.

Almas in his lawsuit requested the Panel of Judges to order Gibran Rakabuming Raka to pay Rp10 million and a late fee of Rp1 million per day, if not paid since 14 days after the final legal decision. "To sentence the Defendant to express Thanks to the Plaintiff through the press media in the form of a Press Conference by inviting National and Local mass media openly," one of the main points of Almas' lawsuit stated.

In the Dismissal Decision, the panel of judges decided to reject the lawsuit filed by Almas. "Stating that the Plaintiff's lawsuit is not a simple lawsuit. Ordering the clerk to strike out case No. 2/Pdt.G.S/2024/PN Skt in the case register. Ordering the return of the remaining case deposit to the Plaintiff," wrote the judge's decision.

It is known, Almas is a student from Solo who previously filed a material test request for Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections regarding the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates to the Constitutional Court (MK).

The decision finally became a bridge for Gibran to become the vice presidential candidate accompanying the presidential candidate of the Indonesian Coalition for Progress (KIM), Prabowo Subianto. In the request, Almas claimed to be a fan of Gibran. He assessed that the Mayor of Surakarta for the period 2022-2025 was able to bring Surakarta's economy to grow by 6.25 percent from initially minus 1.74 percent.

Almas said, Gibran, who is still 35 years old, is claimed to have been able to build and advance the city of Surakarta with honesty, moral integrity, obedience, and dedication to the interests of the people and the state. Almas cannot imagine if the figure admired by the younger generation stumbled in the 2024 Election contest due to age restrictions. According to Almas, Gibran has great potential.
