Explanation

An agreement with an illegal object (or consideration) is void - it cannot be enforced by law. This is a fundamental principle of contract law, exemplified by agreements to commit crimes or violate public policy. 'Void ab initio' means essentially the same thing (void from the beginning), but the standard term used is simply 'void'. Voidable contracts are valid but can be canceled by an aggrieved party.
