What is the Effect of a Void Contract? A void contract means neither party can enforce the contract when it was formed, as the contract had never been created. Therefore, neither party can enforce any rights or perform any obligations set out in the contract. A void contract is different from a voidable contract.

What is a Void Contract? A void contract is a contract that isn't legally enforceable, starting from the time it was created. While both a void and voidable contract are null, a void contract cannot be ratified. In a legal sense, a void contract is treated as if it was never created and becomes unenforceable in court.

A contract may be deemed void if the agreement is not enforceable as it was originally written. In such instances, void contracts (also referred to as "void agreements"), involve agreements that are either illegal in nature or in violation of fairness or public policy.

Void contracts are fundamentally unenforceable. They are invalid by default, and none of the parties to the contract can be held to its terms. Contracts that have been rendered impossible to fulfill are “void,” as are contracts involving illegal activity.

A void contract is totally unenforceable and probably lacked legal effect from the beginning. In other words, this contract lacks one of the four essential elements of a valid contract listed above. For example, a contract to sell a property in exchange for drugs would be void because it lacks legal purpose.
