“Erroneous” is a legal term used to describe something that is mistaken, incorrect, or based on false information or assumptions. In a legal context, “erroneous” typically refers to actions, decisions, judgements, or beliefs that are mistaken or inaccurate. For example, an erroneous decision by a court might be one that is based on incorrect interpretations of the law or facts of a case. It implies that there has been an error or mistake in judgement, interpretation, or application of the law. When a legal decision or action is deemed erroneous, it may be subject to review, correction, or reversal through legal processes such as appeals or petitions for reconsideration.
