- Abstract
Consumers are one of the backbones of the economy. Without consumers, the production sector cannot run smoothly. The large population of Indonesia ensures that the country has large consumption power. However, whether this potential benefit followed by the protection of consumer rights is an important question. This is significant to address because consumers are considered having a weaker bargaining position and therefore vulnerable to being exploited. This article aims to show how the legal protection for consumer. This article applies a normative approach. Data are gathered from a review of consumer protection laws. This study shows that based on legal policies, the state tries to protect consumer rights in order to foster a good transaction climate. This protection of consumer rights is reflected in the rule of law that emphasizes consumer rights, the obligations of business actors, and prohibitions for business actors from actions that can harm consumers. However, consumer protection is acceptable to be normative and must also be built based on the consumer own legal awareness.
