Legal Definitions - void process

A void process is a legal process that does not comply with the required form in some material way. This means that the process is invalid and has no legal effect.

For example, if a court issues a summons to appear in court, but the summons does not have the required information or is not served properly, it may be considered a void process. This means that the defendant is not legally required to appear in court.

Another example of a void process is when a warrant is issued for someone's arrest, but the warrant is not signed by a judge or does not have the proper information. In this case, the warrant would be considered invalid and the person could not be arrested based on that warrant.

It is important to follow the proper procedures and requirements when issuing legal processes to ensure that they are valid and enforceable.
