Legal Definitions - voidable process

Definition: Voidable process refers to a legal process that has a defect, but the defect can be fixed. It is a type of legal proceeding that can be challenged or canceled due to some error or defect.

Example: An example of voidable process is when a court summons is not properly served to the defendant. If the defendant can prove that they did not receive the summons, the court may cancel the process and start over with a new summons that is properly served.

Another example is when a lawsuit is filed in the wrong jurisdiction. If the plaintiff realizes the mistake and files the lawsuit in the correct jurisdiction before the defendant responds, the original process may be voidable and canceled.

These examples illustrate how a voidable process can be challenged and corrected to ensure that the legal proceeding is fair and just.
