Vacated judgment

Okay kiddo, to understand "vacated judgment," we first need to know what a "judgment" is. A judgment is a decision made by a judge or court about who is right or wrong in a case. It's like when you and your friend have an argument and your parent comes in to decide who is right.

Now, sometimes people might disagree with the judgment made by the judge or court. They might think it's not fair or there was a mistake. So, they can ask for the judgment to be changed. That's where "vacated judgment" comes in.

When a judgment is "vacated," it means that it's been cancelled or taken away. So, if the judge or court decides to vacate a judgment, it's like erasing it or pretending it never happened. Then, they can make a new decision instead.

But why would someone want a judgment vacated? Well, maybe there was new evidence that came up after the judgment was made, or maybe someone didn't show up to court and they didn't have a fair chance to defend themselves. Sometimes, mistakes can be made too.

Overall, "vacated judgment" means cancelling a decision made by a judge or court so that a new decision can be made instead.
