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.

A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To overturn a decision or judgment on 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.
