ignored and regarded as invalid

Well, I'm no expert in legal language, but that would be how I would understand the meaning in plain English, and I guess it does make sense in a legal context.

Presumably whoever is making this statement has the authority to overturn a previous 'order' that has been made... or at least, they consider they do!
