A contract that amounts to nothing and has no legal effect is often referred to as a "void" contract. This occurs when the agreement lacks essential elements such as consent, capacity, legality, or a lawful object. For example, a contract for an illegal activity is void and cannot be enforced by either party. Additionally, if one party was misled or coerced into agreeing, the contract may also be considered voidable.
