Record 3 2011-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Obligations (civil law)
  • Legal System
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
  • Special-Language Phraseology
OBS

void and of no(ne) effect: This doublet is quite redundant. If the phrase must be used, modern idiom requires "void and of no effect" (and not "void and of none effect").

OBS

The phrases "totally void" and "completely void" are redundancies ... "Null and void" is questionable as a doublet, "void" itself being perfectly strong.

OBS

null and void: Having no force; invalid.

OBS

null and void: Terms and observation reproduced from the Glosario Provisional de Términos Jurídicos with the permission of the United Nations Office at Geneva.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des obligations (droit civil)
  • Théorie du droit
  • Droit des contrats (common law)
  • Phraséologie des langues de spécialité
DEF

Se dit, dès le moment où existe le vice qui l'affecte, de l'acte qui, en raison de ce vice, encourt l'annulation et dont il n'y a pas lieu de tenir compte.

OBS

33 bis. Archaïsmes pléonastiques. [...] La contraction est moins indiquée quand l'expression tautologique fait partie de la langue courante : [...] nul et non avenu; [...]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Derecho de obligaciones (derecho civil)
  • Régimen jurídico
  • Derecho de contratos (common law)
  • Fraseología de los lenguajes especializados
CONT

Todo acto nulo es ineficaz.

OBS

Ahora bien, como señala Alcaraz, uno de los principales rasgos que conforman el inglés jurídico es su redundancia expresiva, que se nota en muchas construcciones en que se repiten términos que son sinónimos parciales (por ejemplo "null and void", pero también "sole and exclusive", "aid and abet", "final and conclusive", etcétera).

OBS

nulo, nulo y sin efecto, sin valor, írrito: Términos, contexto y observación reproducidos del Glosario Provisional de Términos Jurídicos con la autorización de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas en Ginebra.
