This article gives a short outline on some aspects of the present status of Indonesian conflict of laws, and the extent to which the Dutch colonial regulations are still valid, or have been revised since independence. Following a general discussion on the basis for the validity of the old regulations and the present views on law revision, we shall examine some topics to illustrate the remaining influence of Dutch legal scholars on Indonesian case law and jurisprudence. We have chosen to focus on three areas in particular, the shift from the nationality to the domicile principle in the field of personal status, the problem of renvoi, and the law of contract.
