reopen

Read a random definition: occupatio

A quick definition of reopen:

Term: REOPEN

Definition: When a court looks at a decision they made before, even though it was supposed to be final and cannot be changed. This is only done in very special situations. It's like giving the decision a second chance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To review a final and non-appealable judgment in court for the purpose of possibly granting or modifying relief. This is only done in highly unusual circumstances.

Example: A person is convicted of a crime and sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, new evidence is discovered that could prove their innocence. The court may reopen the case to review the new evidence and possibly grant the person relief by overturning the conviction.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a court may reopen a case in highly unusual circumstances, such as when new evidence is discovered that could change the outcome of the case. This process allows for the possibility of justice to be served even after a final judgment has been made.
