Legal nullity is a phrase used to refer to any entity which might theoretically be of some legal significance, but in fact possesses no identity or distinct structure of its own.
Examples of this are counties which are wholly subsumed by the municipal government within their boundaries.
Some entities which fit this description are Philadelphia County, a legal nullity because it is entirely coterminous with the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New York County, which is similarly coterminous with the Borough of Manhattan, in New York City.
