reversible error

A quick definition of reversible error:

A reversible error is a mistake made during a trial that is so important that it can change the outcome of the case. If the mistake was objected to during the trial, it can be used as a reason to reverse the decision. This is different from a harmless error, which is a mistake that does not affect the outcome of the case. In some cases, a mistake can be so serious that it affects the entire trial process, and this is called a structural error. Reversible errors can be fixed, but structural errors cannot.

A more thorough explanation:

A reversible error is a mistake made during a trial that is serious enough to affect a party's rights. If the affected party objects to the error during the trial, it can be grounds for the decision to be reversed. This is different from a harmless error, which is a mistake that does not affect the outcome of the trial.

In a criminal trial, if the judge allows evidence to be presented that was obtained illegally, this could be a reversible error if the defendant objects to the evidence. Another example could be if the judge gives the jury incorrect instructions on the law that could affect the outcome of the trial.

These examples illustrate how a reversible error can impact the outcome of a trial. If the defendant's rights are violated, it could lead to an unfair trial and an incorrect verdict. By allowing the decision to be reversed, the court can ensure that justice is served.
