Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The phrases "totally void" and "completely void" are redundancies ... "Null and void" is questionable as a doublet, "void" itself being perfectly strong. 6, record 1, English, - invalid

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). 4, record 1, Spanish, - nulo
