Should a (string) Null have a TypeOf = Boolean

I pass a parameter to a subroutine, and in the subroutine, I check its 'typeof'

If the parameter is a string, but NULL, the Typeof comes up as Boolean, not
String.

Is this expected behaviour, or has something corrupted itself in my project?

By NULL, do you mean Nothing? Could you post the relevant code of the method
and how you are passing the parameters?
