English term or phrase: to read down
This is the text:
The appeal decision regarding the enforceability of the restraint of trade is unique in the sense that the New South Wales Supreme Court of Appeal was able to read down the restraint contained in the employment contract due to the common law position in New South Wales being modified by section 4(1) of the RT Act.

It also appears in:
If any provision of this Deed is void, voidable by any Party, unenforceable or illegal in any jurisdiction including being contrary to the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules it will be read down so as to be valid and enforceable or if it cannot be read down, the provision (or where possible the offending words), will be severed from this Deed


I guess it may be translated as "corregir", Am I right?
