Legal Nullity

Legal nullity refers to a situation where a legal act or transaction is considered invalid from the outset, meaning it has no legal effect or binding force. This can happen if the act violates laws, lacks necessary formalities, or is undertaken by someone without proper authority. Essentially, a legally null act is treated as never having existed in the eyes of the law, and it cannot produce rights, obligations, or legal consequences. It is different from an invalid act that could be later corrected; nullity is absolute and usually requires no formal declaration to be recognized.
