Versuch einer Erklärung
Erst einmal ein herzliches Dankeschön an Johanna für dein Vertrauen ... ;-)
Was relevieren angeht, stochere ich allerdings auch im Dunklen. Scheint ja ein recht populärer Begriff in Österreich zu sein (nach den zahlreichen Websites zu urteilen, auf denen "relevieren" auftaucht).
Anyway, ich denke, dass es sich hier um ein Lehnwort aus dem Französischen handelt ("relever"), was u.a. aufgreifen (= to pick up) bedeutet. Es scheint mir, als würde die "verfehlte rechtliche Beurteilung" (mistaken or erroneous legal assessment) des Erstgerichts (of the court of first instance) unter Berücksichtigung des angezogenen (wohl österreichisch für angeführten) Nichtigkeitsgrund (ground/reason for nullity) neu aufgegriffen => reviewed.
Ich bitte um Entschuldigung, falls schon jemand "review" vorgeschlagen hat - ich hab ich einzelnen Antworten nicht im Kopf.
Vorgeschlagene Übersetzung:
The mistaken [erroneous] legal assessment of the Court of first instance, in this regard, must therefore be reviewed, taking into consideration the reason [ground] for nullity cited.
Terminologische Alternativen in eckigen Klammern.

to relieve
leider ist mein Englisch viel besser als mein Deutsch. 'Relevieren" scheint mir wie ein Lehnwort aus englischen Rechtssprache aus.
'On the basis of the indicated invalidation/nullification, the inadequate legal judgment of the first court is relieved'

set off against
Dietl/Lorenz translates the German verb as relativize, to make relative, but I find the English verb rather awkward.
Maybe something along the lines of: The first court's inappropriate decision must be set off against the angezogenen grounds for revocation. Dietl translates Nichtigkeitsgrund as ground for nullity/ground for revocation. I simply don't know what angezogen is.

Mofified, amended, revised
Yes, I know it doesn't say "revidiert," but I believe that is essentially what is meant here.

As a lawyer with 20 years experience I often do legal translations. Many contexts have called for \"relativieren\" to be translated as \"to adjust.\"
Your word seems to be \"releveriern\" which could also be \"modified\" or \"softened.\"

--------------------------------------------------
If the context of your original justifies it, you might even consider overturned or lifted.
It appear that you have here an appeal from the decision of the lower court. Oftne the appellant asks the higher court to overturn or lift the judgment or decision rendered by the lower court.
Here we have a French expression related to the verb \"to lift.\"
\"Relever\" has all kinds of meanings, including \"to relieve.\"
Give it some thought!

to revisit, to re-examine
would be my interpretation - after looking through a few, mostly Austrian websites. I'm confident Darien will konw the correct term!
