Overruled
Definition - What does Overruled mean?
"Overruled" or "objection overruled" is a judge's response when they disagree with an objection raised by the prosecution or defense in a trial. An objection can be either overruled or sustained (allowed).
Justipedia explains Overruled
A lawyer may object to a certain question being posed to a witness, or object to a piece of evidence being introduced in court. The judge has the final say as to whether to allow or disallow the question, evidence or other element of a case.
Case verdicts or judicial decisions can also be overruled when an original judgment is later replaced by new/different ruling.
When it comes to laws, overruling means that a law is overturned and will no longer be a precedent.
