That is often part of an appellate court's instruction sending a case back to the trial court, when review on appeal discloses a serious legal error in the original proceedings. It is like telling a driver, "You took the wrong turn ten miles back. Go back to the fork in the road, take the left fork instead of the right, and keep going."
After some appeals, the case will go back to the trial court for further proceedings consistant with the reviewing court decision. That appears to be on for February in this particular matter.
