to ensure (he) does not renege


Explanation:
The root הדר in this context means to retract or reconsider.
You didn't ask, but I'll add my two cents anyway: I like to translate "beit din chashuv" as a prominent/reputable beit din (or rabbinical/religious court, depending on your reading audience), because the word "chashuv," in halachic lexicon, is much more nuanced than the word "important."
Also, could there have been a typo and בית should really read ביה? The expression מיהדר ביה is quite common.
