1. A legal condition in which a contract, marriage, or other legal act is void from its inception and requires no formal dissolution procedure
The marriage was declared an immediate nullity because one party was already legally married.
O casamento foi declarado nulidade imediata porque uma das partes já era legalmente casada.
2. In law, the automatic invalidity of an act that never had legal effect
An immediate nullity differs from a voidable contract in that it never creates any legal rights or obligations.
Uma nulidade imediata difere de um contrato anulável em que nunca cria direitos ou obrigações legais.
