释义 | remand (once / 7880 pages) vn In law, to remand is to send a case back to be reconsidered by another court — or to imprison someone who's been arrested until they go to trial. In some cases, a court will remand a case for a completely new trial, and in others it might instruct the new court to use different legal standards, or to decide only on a defendant's sentence.
