A court order cancelling an earlier order, usually because it was wrongly made (for example, without notice to a party who was not present) or because circumstances have changed. A party can apply to set aside an order on notice to the other side. It is distinct from 'discharging' an order, which ends a continuing obligation.
In Plain English
When the court cancels an old order and treats it as if it never happened, usually because it was made unfairly or new information has come to light. It basically gives you a 'do-over' on that specific decision.
