# Cancel a legal request

Cancel a third-party contract request if it is no longer necessary.

## Before you begin

**Important:** Cancelling a legal contract request after it has been sent for signature stops the process in its current state.

Role required: sn\_lg\_ops.legal\_user

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Legal Request** > **Legal Service Portal**.

2.  Open your submitted legal request from the **My Requests** option on the header menu.

3.  On the Standard Ticket page, from the Actions menu, select **Cancel Request**.

4.  In the dialog box, enter comments to explain why the request was canceled.

5.  Select **Confirm Cancellation**.


## Result

-   The request is canceled and the associated active flows are terminated. The cancellation comments appear in the **Activity** tab of the request.
-   The document status changes to Contract Voided.
-   The document signature sent to signatories is canceled to block further signing. The signatories get an email notification that the legal request has been canceled.
