Simple English definitions for legal terms

null

Read a random definition: non

A quick definition of null:

Null: having no legal power or effect; not valid or binding. For example, if a contract is declared null, it means it is no longer legally enforceable. The phrase "null and void" means the same thing and is often used together.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Having no legal effect; without binding force; VOID. The phrase null and void is a common redundancy.

Examples:

  • The contract was declared null and void.
  • The judge ruled that the evidence was null and could not be used in court.
  • The defendant's plea was nullified when it was discovered that he had lied under oath.

These examples illustrate that when something is null, it is considered to have no legal value or effect. In the case of a contract being declared null and void, it means that the contract is no longer valid and cannot be enforced. Similarly, when evidence is deemed null, it cannot be used in court to support a case. And when a plea is nullified, it means that it is no longer valid and cannot be considered by the court.
