Variation
Verdict
Decision of a jury. In criminal cases, this is usually expressed as guilty or not guilty and may be unanimous or by a majority of 11-1 or 10-2. In a civil case, the verdict would be a finding for the plaintiff or for the defendant by at least nine of the 12 jurors.
Void
Without legal effect. A document that is void is worthless. An anti-competitive agreement or contract in restraint of trade may be void. A "marriage" involving a person under the age of 18 would be void in Ireland.
Voidable
The law distinguishes between void and voidable contracts. Some contracts have such a fundamental defect that they are said to be void. Others have more minor defects and are voidable at the option of the innocent party.
