Abstract

This study analyzes the application of legal standing and burden of proof in breach of contract cases based on Supreme Court Decision Number 573 K/Pdt/2026. The central issue in this case concerns the plurium litis consortium exception, which was upheld by the Makassar High Court on the grounds that the lawsuit was filed against an insufficient number of parties. This research employs a normative juridical method using a case-based approach and applicable legislation. The findings reveal that the Supreme Court affirmed that the legal standing of parties in contractual disputes must be grounded in their direct contractual relationship. Third parties who are not signatories to the agreement and do not possess the disputed object are not required to be included as parties in the lawsuit. Furthermore, the burden of proof in breach of contract cases must be directed toward establishing the existence of a contract, the performance of obligations, the defendant’s negligence, and the resulting legal consequences. This decision reinforces the principle of privity of contract, the pacta sunt servanda principle, and proportional evidentiary standards in contractual disputes. Accordingly, Supreme Court Decision Number 573 K/Pdt/2026 provides important affirmation of legal certainty and protection for parties harmed by contractual violations.
