What does recinded mean in court?

In a legal context, "rescinded" refers to the cancellation or reversal of a previously made contract, agreement, or court ruling. When a court rescinds a decision, it effectively nullifies that ruling, rendering it as if it never existed. This can occur for various reasons, such as new evidence emerging or procedural errors being identified. Rescission may also apply to contracts when one party is released from their obligations due to specific conditions not being met.
