These two legal systems have relevance in the development of standard contract law, including, regarding written requirements (statue of frauds), regarding the validity of standard agreements, regarding breaking of contracts and regarding exonation clauses stated in the standard agreement. This regulation should be standardized for legal certainty and to fulfill justice for the parties as well as to provide benefits for fulfilling the legal needs of the Indonesian people.
