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 AllLegal RequestLegal 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.
