Annul means:

Annul means:

• A. To postpone a case to a future date
• B. To make void or to cancel
• C. A judge's address on the record to determine whether parties understand the proposed settlement
• D. Is a signed written statement that is sworn to be true

Answer: (B)

Annul means to make void or cancel, as if it never had legal effect. This applies to things like a contract or marriage, where an annulment treats the creation as if it never existed from the outset. It does not mean postponing a case—that would be adjourning or staying. It also isn’t a judge’s address on the record to check understanding of a settlement—that’s a procedural colloquy. And it isn’t a sworn written statement—that would be an affidavit.
