GVR Order

Encyclopedia : G : GV : GVR : GVR Order

The Supreme Court of the United States may issue GVR orders. It stands for grant, vacate, and remand. These orders are especially appropriate when there has been a change in the law subsequent to the lower court or agency's decision. GVR orders are designed to be efficient are not full explications, rather they grant the writ of certoriari only to remand the issue for reconsideration.

For discussion of when a GVR is appropriate see Lawrence v. Chater, 516 U.S. 163 (1996); SKF USA Inc., v. United States, F.3d 1022 (Fed. Cir. 2001).
