A quick definition of reverse:
Term: REVERSE
Definition: When someone disagrees with a decision made by a judge or a court, they can ask for a "reverse". This means they want the decision to be changed. In some cases, people can just say "reverse" without explaining what they want to change. In British English, this is called "allowing the appeal".
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To overturn a decision or judgment on appeal.
Example 1: The court decided to reverse the lower court's ruling and grant the appeal.
Example 2: The company appealed the decision to reverse the merger with their competitor.
Explanation: When a decision or judgment is reversed, it means that the original decision has been changed or overturned. This can happen when a higher court reviews a decision made by a lower court or when an appeal is made to reconsider a decision. The examples illustrate how a decision can be reversed through an appeal process.
