void judgment

A judgment that has no legal force or effect, the invalidity of which may be asserted by any party whose rights are affected at any time and any place, whether directly or collaterally.

• From its inception, a void judgment continues to be absolutely null. It is incapable of being confirmed, ratified, or enforced in any manner or to any degree. One source of a void judgment is the lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. [Cases: Federal Civil Procedure 2392; Judgment 5–27, 346, 486. C.J.S. Judgments §§ 4–5, 13–28, 30, 43–46, 48, 73, 75, 82, 201, 203–205, 207, 307, 403, 499, 512, 546, 548–549.]
