2. (Law) Capable of being avoided, or of being adjudged void,
invalid, and of no force; capable of being either avoided
or confirmed.

If the metropolitan . . . grants letters of
administration, such administration is not, but
voidable by sentence. --Ayliffe.

render it null and of no effect, it must be avoided; a
void contract can not be ratified.
