A clause in a court order allowing either party to return to court later — without having to start a brand-new application — to ask for clarification, help with carrying out the order, or in some cases to vary it. It's commonly included in financial remedy orders and consent orders. It doesn't mean you can reopen the whole settlement; it's a limited right to come back to the court that made the order for specific, related issues that arise after the order is made.
In Plain English
This is a sentence in a court order that lets you go back to the judge if you have trouble carrying out the instructions. It's meant for fixing practical problems with the order, not for starting the whole case over.
