what happens when the supreme court remands a case
To remand is to send back or remit. In the law of the United States, appellate courts are said to remand cases when sending them back to an inferior court for further action, such as a new trial. Federal appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, have the power to "remand (a) cause and ... require such further proceedings to be had as may be just under the circumstances." This includes the power to make summary "grant, vacate and remand" or GVR orders.
