Consumer finance is a financing institution that is officially still relatively new in Indonesia. Consumer financing agreements are agreements that arise in the day-to-day practice of the wider community. In a contractual relationship, the Covid-19 pandemic has become a point of debate between business actors who are bound by the contract. Debtors who have contractual obligations make the Covid-19 pandemic a basis for freeing themselves from their obligations to fulfill achievements. The purpose of this research is to find out the legal basis for the arrangement of consumer financing agreements in the perspective of contract law and to find out the consequences of force majeure for the parties to the consumer financing agreement in the event of a Covid-19 pandemic. The problems contained in this research are how the legal basis for the regulation of consumer financing agreements in the perspective of contract law and what are the consequences of force majeure for parties to the consumer finance agreement in the event of a corona virus outbreak. The method used is a normative research method by using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic currently occurring can only qualify as a forced condition which is not absolute or relative or it can be said that the debtor cannot make the reason for this pandemic as a reason for contract cancellation. This relative coercion is limited to delaying the implementation of the obligation to fulfill the achievement for a while, whereby the parties can negotiate the agreements that have been previously made.

Abstract This article examines challenges and proposes legal solutions for the enforcement of contracts especially after the transformation of the economy following Covid-19 and related governmental measures that have swept throughout the world since December 2019. Maximising the role of the judge and increasing the contractual parties’ involvement in phases of contractual disputes constitute the core of this research. This article argues for strengthening the contractual guarantees by advocating for the use of the two contract doctrines of force majeure that normally lead to termination of contractual obligations, and changed circumstances that may trigger intervention of the judge to lift the economic burden of the debtor and reach a fair solution. This article also argues for adopting a more flexible approach to the application of the doctrine of change of circumstances during the performance of the contract that not necessarily relies on this traditional distinction between force majeure and hardship.

Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) has a significant impact on all aspects of human life in the world, especially in Indonesia which is very large in area and has a large population (around 267 million people) with different kinds of professions. The purpose of this study is to focus on civil matters, with more emphasis on the problem of agreements that are influenced by Covid-19. The normative legal research method uses a statutory approach, and a conceptual approach to force majeure and describes an analysis (analytical descriptive). The results showed that the agreement in the state of the Covid-19 outbreak greatly influenced the implementation of the agreement set and agreed upon by the parties, because the agreement binds the parties, so the parties are subject to the contents of the agreement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented situation all over the world, ocmpelled the governments to declare lockdown, closing of businesses, industries, commercial activities, ban on certain imports and exports. Under these circumstances, an obligor may not be able to perform his contractual obligations, consequently may result in breach of contract. In case of claim of damages by the obligee for breach of contract, the obligor may seek exemption from damages under the law of impediment or force majeure. According to Article 79 of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 (CISG), a party is not liable for damages due to non-performance, delay or defect in performance, if he can prove that the failure was due to an impediment beyond his control. The COVID-19 situations are beyond the control of the parties to the contract, must be considered as an impediment or force majeure and the non-performing party is entitled for exemption from damages under Article 79 of CISG.

The author explores the complex issue of whether the epidemic virus Covide-19 has the character of force majeure (vis maior) in terms of fulfilling contractual obligations in general, and in particular the obligations of the Lease of Business Premises. Force majeure means a circumstances arising after the conclusion of the contract that the debtor could not prevent, eliminate or avoid, while in the case of the ruling coronavirus epidemic it is a contagious disease of global proportions with consequences for the global economy, for which official medicine is still did not find a cure. In a situation when the lessee of business premises is affected by these circumstances which, undoubtedly, cannot be attributed to him, and which he could not prevent, eliminate or avoid, it is important to explore and analyze legal solutions that, in the absence of contractual provisions, protect the endangered position the lessee and relax his disrupted contractual relationship with the lessor.

1989 göçü öncesi, dünyada eşzamanlı olarak gittikçe gelişen ve zenginleşen mutfak kültürü, Bulgaristan Türklerini de etkilemiştir. Pazardaki çeşitlilik arttıkça, yemek alışkanlıkları da değişime uğramıştır. Büyük göçten sadece 30-40 sene evvel kısıtlı imkânlar ile sınırlı sayıda yemek çeşidi üretilirken, alım gücünün artmasıyla yemek kültüründe de hızlı gelişmeler olmuştur. Artan ürün çeşitliliği yemeklere de yansımış, farklı lezzetler mutfaklara girmiştir. Göçmen yemekleri denilince hamur işleri, börek ve pideler akla gelir. Ayrıca, göçmenlerin çok zengin turşu, komposto ve konserve kültürüne sahip oldukları da bilinir. Bu çalışma, 1989 öncesi Bulgaristan’ın farklı bölgelerinde yaşayan Türklerin yemek alışkanlıklarına ışık tutmakla birlikte, göç sonrasında göçmen mutfak kültüründe bir değişiklik oluşup oluşmadığını konu almaktadır. Bu amaçla, 1989 yılında Türkiye’ye göç etmiş 50 kişiye 8 sorudan oluşan anket düzenlenmiştir. Bu verilerden yola çıkarak oluşan bulgular derlenmiş ve yeni tespitler yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerine yerleşen göçmenler, kendi göçmen pazarlarını kurmuşlardır. Bulgaristan’dan getirilen ürünlerin bu pazarlarda satılması böyle bir arz talebin hala devam ettiğine işaret etmektedir.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHThe Diversity in Cuisine Culture of the Immigrants from Bulgaria After 1989 MigrationThe Cuisine culture that has been developing and getting rich day by day contemporaneously in the world before 1989 migration has also had an impact on Bulgarian Turks. By the increase in diversity in the market, eating habits have changed. While producing a limited number of food types with limited opportunities just some 30 or 40 years before the ‘Big Migration’, there has been a rapid progress in food culture by the help of the increase in purchase power. Enhancing product range has been reflected in food, and different tastes have entered the cuisines. When we say immigrant, the first things that come to our mind are pastry, flan and pitta bread. Moreover, it is also known that immigrants have a very rich cuisine culture of pickle, stewed fruit, and canned food. This study aims both to disclose the eating habits of Turks living in different regions of Bulgaria before 1989 and to determine whether there has been a difference in immigrant cuisine culture before and after the migration. For this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of 8 questions has been administered to 50 people who migrated to Turkey in 1989. The results gathered from these data have been compiled and new determinations have been made. In addition, immigrants that settled in different regions of Turkey have set their own immigrant markets. The fact that the products brought from Bulgaria are being sold in these markets shows that this kind of supply and demand still continues.
