remand decision

A remand decision occurs when a court temporarily sends a case back to a lower authority or to gather more information before making a final judgment. It often happens in criminal or civil cases when additional evidence, reviews, or hearings are needed. Essentially, the higher court is holding the case in abeyance to allow further proceedings or investigations, with the understanding that a final decision will be made after these steps are completed. This process ensures that all relevant details are thoroughly considered before reaching a definitive ruling.
