Abstract
Government policies due to the spread of Covid-19 have had a weakening economic impact due to restrictions on community activities which also had an impact on business activities, including the implementation of business contracts. The implementation of the rights and obligations of business contracts is hampered and there is even a possibility that it will not be carried out which results in default. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The technique of collecting legal materials applied in this research is a literature study in the form of literature, journals and the results of previous research and document studies. in the form of a collection of official documents with interpretation and assessment through statutory regulations based on primary and secondary legal sources. This study aims to determine the legal consequences of renegotiation on the implementation of business contracts and the role of the government in efforts to resolve business contract defaults during the pandemic. The results of the study indicate that the legal consequences of renegotiation on the implementation of business contracts during the Covid-19 pandemic caused goodwill from the parties to the contract where both parties act by considering the interests of the other party as well as during the current pandemic where creditors must pay attention to the interests of the debtor and the role of the debtor. The government in an effort to resolve business contract defaults during the pandemic is to implement countercyclical policies.
