court of review; retrial court
Legal term for a court that re-examines a case, typically an appellate court or a court conducting a retrial.
The retrial court handed down a verdict based on new evidence.
The case was sent to the court of review.
控訴裁判所 is a general appellate court, while 再審裁判所 specifically handles retrials or reviews of a case, often after new evidence emerges.
上告裁判所 is a final appeal court (e.g., Supreme Court), whereas 再審裁判所 is a court that reopens a case for a new trial, not necessarily the highest instance.
Compound of 再審 (retrial, review) and 裁判所 (court). The term is a straightforward legal compound with no obscure historical derivation.
