Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-005175

Having no legal force or effect from its inception, as if it never existed. A void contract, for instance, cannot be ratified or made enforceable by the parties because it lacks an essential element required for its formation. This contrasts with a voidable act, which is initially valid but can be annulled by one of the parties.
