nullities
Acts without effect
Nullities are things that have no legal force or binding effect—contracts, marriages, or other acts declared void as if they never existed.
More broadly, nullities are people or things of no consequence or importance: The committee dismissed our concerns as nullities.
The word suggests complete insignificance or nonexistence in practical terms.
