Void Vs Wrong Decision

Summary

A void decision is a ruling that is invalid due to a fundamental flaw, making it as if it never existed. A wrong decision is legally valid but incorrect based on facts or law. Fundamental infirmities, such as violations of due process, can render a decision void. A knowingly wrong decision can be both wrong and void if it violates fundamental legal principles. Examples include decisions made without jurisdiction or without giving a party the right to be heard.
