LEGAL PROTECTION FOR A NOTARY SUSPECTED OF VIOLATING THE CODE OF ETHICS

This study aims to analyze the existence of legal protection against notaries who are suspected of violating the code of ethics and to prove whether legal protection against notaries who are suspected of violating the code of ethics is effective.The results of this study show that there are already regulations regarding legal protection for notaries who are suspected of violating the code of ethics regulated in the Notary Office Law and the notary code of ethics in the form of self-defense and administrative legal remedies.legal protection for notaries suspected of violating the code of ethics cannot be said to be effective because administrative appeals cannot be made. the sanctions given by the Regional Supervisory Board are only in the form of a written warning to Banyumas and Purbalingga Notaries. The sanction is relatively light so that the notary does not need to exercise his other rights in the form of an administrative appeal.
