Ambiguitas teks hukum akan menimbulkan ketidakpastian, ketidakkeadilan, dan ketidakkemanfaatan hukum, dikarenakan hukum terikat pada bahasa yang pada dasarnya selalu akan memberikan penafsiran dari teks tertulis di dalam peraturan perundang-undangan. Akibat tidak dipenuhi syarat-syarat dalam teks hukum yang berupa kejelasan (clarity), ketidaktaksaan (unambiguity), bernas (concise), dan inklusif sering dilakukan pengujian pemaknaan dalam teks hukum, dalam hal ini, di Mahkamah Konstitusi. Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 65/PUU-VIII/2010 yang menguji pemaknaan kata “saksi” dan frasa “keterangan” saksi dianalisis dengan pendekatan semantis dan sintaksis, yang bertujuan untuk mencari jawaban alternatif dan komprehensif dalam pemaknaan kata “saksi” dan frasa “keterangan saksi”.DOI: 10.15408/al-turas.v23i1.4804]]>
