Difference between overturned, reversed, remanded

superhelpful · 2019-07-18 18:53:25

I'm reading a document I don't fully understand. In it, it states: "It is not appropriate for the court of appeals to review this point, which is to be returned to the High Court" It also states early on that the high courts decision has been 'overturned' Based on the original statement, does that mean the case is closed?…

Based on the original statement, does that mean the case is closed? Or remanded to the high court for reconsideration

The word for referring back to the High Court from the Court of Appeal is "remitted".

I think what's going on from reading your post is that some points were determined by the CoA and not remitted while others were not determined and were remitted. This is standard for appellate courts.

It might be helpful for us in considering the issues you're posting about if you said what case it is you're reviewing.
