officially cancel a law or rule
to officially stop a law or rule so that it is not used anymore
استعمال کا انداز:
to repeal [a law/rule/tax/ban]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "repeal" for everyday cancellations (e.g., "repeal a class" or "repeal a meeting"). "Repeal" is mainly used for official laws, rules, and policies. For normal plans, use verbs like "cancel" or "call off." Learners also confuse "repeal" with "appeal": "appeal" means to ask a higher court or authority to change a decision, not to cancel a law.
