Specifically a "reversal" is when the same court changes its own decision, either on the same case or a later one; for the same issue(s). When a higher court overturns a decision of a lower court it is normally called "overturn" or "overruled" decision. As noted a reversal is a specific term.

A reversal also occurs when an appellate court changes a decision of a lower court (whether that lower court is a trial court or the first appellate level) because of some error made by court below it.

Courts typically assess whether the error had a substantial impact on the rights of the parties involved before determining if it is harmless.
