The institution of limitation of actions (verjaring) is one of the legal mechanisms that plays an important role in realizing legal certainty and preventing prolonged uncertainty in the resolution of civil disputes. However, its application in judicial practice often raises issues, both due to differences in interpreting the limitation period and inconsistencies among judges in applying the provisions of the Civil Code and civil law doctrine. This study aims to untangle the complexities of applying verjaring by conducting a comparative analysis between court decisions and expert opinions. Through a normative juridical and jurisprudential approach, this study finds that differences in judges' construction of arguments, variations in the quality of evidence, and shifts in understanding the function of verjaring contribute to inconsistencies in its application. Furthermore, there is a tendency that some decisions do not fully consider the principle of legal certainty and the principle Caution in assessing the initial start of the statute of limitations period. This study emphasizes the need for a more uniform interpretation by both judges and legal practitioners, as well as the importance of regulatory updates to clarify the boundaries of the statute of limitations institution. Thus, this study contributes to strengthening legal certainty and the consistency of civil law application in Indonesia.
