GLOSSARY TERM GUIDEBuild the complete exam definition
Learn the rule, separate it from the nearest distractor, then apply it to a Georgia fact pattern.
What does Void contract mean?
A void contract has no legal effect from the outset because an essential legal requirement is absent or the agreement is for an unlawful purpose. Neither party can enforce it as a valid contract.
How do you separate the nearest exam answer?
Void means never legally effective. Voidable means valid unless the protected party elects to avoid it. Unenforceable means a valid agreement cannot be enforced because of a legal defense.
What changes or stays the same in Georgia?
The national status distinctions apply in Georgia. Focus on whether a contract ever had legal existence, rather than whether performance has begun.
Two parties agree to use a property transaction to accomplish an illegal purpose. The purported agreement is void.
A breach does not make a valid contract void. It creates a remedy question.

Answer before reading the explanation. Then explain why every distractor belongs to a different term.
Two parties sign a lease of a building whose stated purpose is running an illegal gambling operation. Which best describes this agreement?
- A
Voidable by the landlord
- B
Void
- C
Unenforceable but otherwise valid
- D
Valid until one party breaches
An agreement for an unlawful purpose is void: it never had legal effect, and neither party can enforce it. Voidable means valid until a protected party chooses to avoid it, which is not the situation here. Unenforceable describes a valid agreement blocked by a defense such as the Statute of Frauds.
