Declare (the instrument) to be void
It would be nice to have more context so as to know which is the referent. What does the text refer to? A contract? An authorization?
Anyway, I have provided you with a semantic equivalent that may fit the context.

The [whatever "la misma" refers to] is hereby declared null and void
Just "fill in the blank." In English we would often repeat the word/term/phrase that "la misma" refers to.

that the [decision/judgment] be quashed/overturned/set aside
In line with Lucia's interpretation. It is clearly a request for the Judge to act upon, i.e., that the Judge should quash, overturn, set aside a previous decision on account that the appearing party did not give her consent. This is my reading of the phrase, for want of more context.
