érvénytelennek

Érvénytelennek is a Hungarian word that translates to "invalid" or "void" in English. It is used in various contexts to describe something that lacks legal force, validity, or effectiveness.

In a legal sense, a contract or an agreement can be deemed érvénytelennek if it fails to meet certain essential requirements. This could be due to a lack of capacity of one of the parties, illegality of the subject matter, or a fundamental flaw in its formation. For example, a contract entered into by a minor without proper consent might be considered érvénytelennek. Similarly, a will that does not adhere to the prescribed legal formalities can be declared érvénytelennek.

Beyond legal contexts, the term can also be applied to other situations where something loses its intended purpose or effect. For instance, a ticket for an event might become érvénytelennek if it is presented after the event has concluded or if it has been tampered with. In games or competitions, a move or a result might be declared érvénytelennek if it violates the rules. The core idea is that the item or action in question is no longer considered legitimate, binding, or operative according to the established norms or laws.
