ABSTRACT:
We live in an era where every man is easily moved to pervert justice to his or her favour. The judiciary and some judicial personnel being human too equally are not exonerated from this contagious attitude. Such that if every judgement were to be examined critically, you will notice that few are bedevilled with errors in law or errors of injustice which should not be heard of the third arm of government. This article examines the concept of judgement, what validates judgement, what is null and void judgement, the effect of null and void judgement and to examine whether or not null and void judgement can determine any rights and obligations for the parties.
