Tilbagevisning

Tilbagevisning is a Danish term used to describe the act of returning a submitted item or matter to its origin or to a previous processing step. It is used in administrative, legal, and digital contexts to indicate that the item cannot proceed in its current form and must be revised, corrected, or redirected.

Etymology and meaning: The word is built from tilbage (back) and visning (showing or notification). The concept implies that information or a case is sent back with notes, instructions, or a reason for the return.

Administrative and clerical use: In public administration, forms, applications, or reports may be tilbagevist if they are incomplete, non-compliant with instructions, or require additional information. The returning authority typically provides reasons for the return and specifies what must be done to resubmit, often along with a deadline.

Legal use: In legal procedures, tilbagevisning can occur when a ruling, application, or case is sent back to a lower authority or court for reconsideration or clarification. The term is closely related to remand or a directive to reprocess a matter in light of indicated issues.

Digital and system contexts: In information systems, a record or submission can trigger a tilbagevisning when validation fails or errors are detected. The return is usually accompanied by error messages and guidance on necessary corrections.

See also: afvise (to reject), omvisning/omdirigering (redirect), remand (case back to a lower court in a legal context).

Tilbagevisning thus denotes a formal return of a matter for revision, clarification, or reprocessing, rather than a final acceptance or dismissal.
